Could somebody please enlighten me as to the definition of "A married roster"?
Although the majority of companies don't seem to operate such schemes nowdays is it simply a term employed by airlines, or is there a definition laid down in print somewhere ?

I don't think there is any written definition of the term "Married Roster".

We use it as a form of description for two people who are rostered together consistently over a period of time.

The idea being that if a married couple worked for the same airline they would be rostered the same duties and days off, in order to spend time with each other.

I couldn't think of anything worse! :)

I work, the usual ops roster of 4 on 4 off and have a "married roster"..

An arrangement with rostering, for myself and partner who is cabin crew...

Works quite well, but I have more days off than her, so we sometimes only have 1 day off a week..
