For me, doing a block of work followed by extended days off works perfectly well, for ME. That's why we have a bidding system, I don't care where I go, I care that I get my blocks of days off. For other guys/girls they want specific trips, that's great, and if the stupid asinine punitive rostering company rules were removed then I'd venture to say that it would work. Unfortunately there aren't enough crews, but obviously it's our fault for posting the facts on PPrune.
