While 10 shifts in a row is a big issue, it is manageable, and also by choice.
A bigger concern is 2 early shifts (6am starts) followed immediately by 3 night shifts (single person) in a row.
This is the standard roster, but I believe is being phased out.
For those who don't know, 06 to 1500, 06 to 1200 then back the same day for the first of three 2300 to 0600. It's a bit like packing 5 shifts into 4 days.
And don't even start on the "Grey" Doggo issue......
I once upon a time thought ATC's were also subject to CAO 48 Flight (work) Time Limitations. It appears this is not the case. Could someone please set me right on this.
Thank you.
