For once I'm happy they are still fiddling with them. At least it will not spoil X-mas!
The leave allocation already had its impact on a lot of us, so let's wait until the 26th to get the roster beating.

Merry Christmas to you all and be the spirits of planning with you for once.

As a general rule, the rosters are released 7 days before the end of the month. If that day happens to fall on a Friday, Saturday or religious holiday, the roster will be released one or two days earlier. This was the case last month. Expect to see your roster on the afternoon of the 24th Dec. All the best.

The cherries are picked even before your roster was built... Training roster is usually complete by the 5th.

Kinda sorta.

They let us monitor the build, but it changes constantly. We then can't see it for the week leading up to publication and what is then rostered can be completely different. I've (knowing the risk) booked travel based on the "Sneak peek", only to have a duty put in the middle of a group of days off once the roster came out.

Bear in mind, our bidding closes on the 15th- the month BEFORE (i.e six weeks before the actual rostered month we're bidding for- bids close 15th December for the FEBRUARY roster.), so if we don't have some idea what's happening in the next month, we don't know what is happening leading up to the month we're bidding for.

Wasn't trying to brag about how early we see a roster.. More to say that if a line pilots roster was manually changed, it was not trainings cherry picking...

Edit: Sorry, wrong smiley...

On topic, sort of....

The last couple of months bidding closed on the 13th, but swap freeze started on the 10th. It there any reason for freezing swaps before bidding even closed? What am I missing here?

7 DAYS BEFORE THE NEXT MONTH BEGINS?????

Christ on a bike....?!?!

In the 8 years since I left NOTHING has changed!!!

I've just done my first flight for 3 weeks, I've got Chrimbo & New Year off, my next flight is a LGW daystop on Jan 19th & my roster goes up to Feb 9th.

Couple that with 400 hrs TT, home every night, HMRC giving 40% Tax Relief on my personal pension contributions, the Company paying 20% of my £81K/Annum salary into my pension in exchange for me taking a 12% pay cut with the added option of taking a 20% pay cut to have Nov-Mar off completely, with no overnight flights & the fact that I'm home every night I DO work by 2am, I can see why you guys are whinging...

Does Emirates still stand for

English Managed, Indian Rosterers, Aussie Trainers, Everybody Shafted...?

Merry Christmas, Guys... Inshallah...😜

Be careful gents…

My Jan roster just arrived… Too bad it was my Jan 2013 roster. Looked a little bit odd I thought. Apparently someone sent out last Jan's roster in error. At least in my case.

The correct rosters are up on the portal though…

Top bid group and got nothing I wanted. Not even the right direction if ya know what I mean. Who do you contact to figure out why your roster is ****e?

Is there CRS guys we can email/talk to.. to see what the issue was?

bids close 15th December for the FEBRUARY roster
Did you mean Jan roster?
We're bidding 6 weeks out, not 10.
