Silvertate: I would go much further than your assessment and say that kind of rostering is inhuman and unsafe. It should not be accepted and it should be brought to the attention of as many 'powers that be' as possible. I once had a roster of a Greek island night flight returning at 06.00 ands then a 21.00 report for an African 13.00hr up & down with a 1.00 turn round that always took 2.00. I refused the combination. I said I would do one or the other but not both. If it was the Greek then I would be sick for Africa. You, rostering, have 2 weeks notice so it is your choice. I copied C.P. He agreed and it was solved. Yet for months others had been doing it. Sometimes we are our own worse enemies, and our friends don't help.
