Well, I have my own rostering 'solution'....hehe. And so should the rest of you. Currently sitting on 10 days off for a bad elbow, very debilitating dontcha know!(ok, not actually the real reason, but I AM enjoying the time off...). If they can't get off their arses and provide a suitable rostering environment, then they have to expect that most of us will take matters into our own hands. I actually prefer this, as it allows me to take off exactly the days I want, when I want. You know, like most first world airlines when you've accrued some seniority. We have a bunch of worthless, mindless, venal managers who's ONLY consideration is themselves. Come to terms with that and all will be well. CC forever
