Just out of interest, and to make a comparison, how does your company roster night duties?
I've done (several times) a night duty this summer (probably to return next spring) that involves a (usually) 22.00 dep 4.15 block hrs out, hour on the ground, 4.30 block back, on blocks 07.45 ish if it goes to plan. Personally, I find this a very long night because 1. it is a long night and 2. it drags into the next morning so much. The problem is made much worse as we often get rostered this after earlies and lates. eg 05.50 start 2 or 4 sectors, 06.00 start 4 sectors, 12.30 start 4 sectors with 2200 -2300 finish then the night duty.
Might be strictly FTL legal but I think this sort of stuff is fatiguing which you could argue then makes it legally dubious and I have refused twice this summer just gone.
How are your night duties rostered, in isolation? after earlies or lates? Interested to know before I start a conversation with management about this rostering in prep for next year?
