I always thought that the CAO 48 exemption was a lead up to a revised Order but 15 years or so on, nothing much has changed. 0500 sign on is not and never will be the start of a normal day. Fortunately, I have never come across any company that combines it with a 30 minute sign on, another of CASA's foibles. With boarding 15 minutes before departure, a 30 minute sign on would leave the pilots at security screening whilst the passengers are doing battle with the overhead lockers.
