Rosters-Now v's then
I fly narrow bodies out of NZ.
Fatigue is a hot topic right now in our type of Airline flying as the sector lengths regionally allow some pretty long duties at all times of the day and night.
I am not sure if we as a pilot group are just more aware of fatigue or if the rosters have actually got worse since the 70's 80's and 90's ( I started flying in the 2000's).
If you were flying narrow bodies regionally in Australasia both then and now, what do you think?
Has the 'efficiency' of the rostering systems/CAR's made the job more tiring or are we just assuming that to be so?
What was a typical roster like 30 years ago?
Did red eye trans-Tasman even exist then?
Anyone got a copy of an old roster they can post?
Cheers,
