Just thought I'd share with Allaru my company stooge "crock" roster.
I bid for 88 hrs or less, roster block 87.8 hrs
I bid for a certain UK port, rostered 3 trips to this port
I bid for a specific ULR trip on a specific day such that it guaranteed me Christmas day off at home, result I got that trip.
I got a M/E evening turnaround finishing around midnight after starting at 7pmish (bid as a filler to make up the hours)
I was also rostered an EU flight that I didnt bid for.
So all in all a good roster for me, by my reckoning I got 90% of what I bid for overall, and the trip I specifically bid for, not bad imho for a mid bid roster, and indicative of what I get based on my understanding of the CRS system and how it works with regards to avoids and block hours.
I'll say it again, I get these rosters in my mid, second top and top bid, unlike lots of others who don't take an hour or two and invest the time to do their best to get the roster they desire.....and then moan
I should add lastly, I have had a rubbish roster or two, but mostly they have been my fault, sure the system isnt perfect,but for the most part it is consistent
