Wow just shaking my head at the rosters you guys are fed. No freaking way could I last a few years much less a career doing them esp when you include ULH. If the terms are headed that way globally, I'll find something else to do. Seen too many guys croke 1-2 years after retirement to give my body to this profession.

Sounds to me like you guys are working in a coalmine. Long hours, shifts, miserable living conditions, work induced diseases and low life-expectancy.

But then, what qualifications to speak of you got, what sort of responsibilities come with your jobs anyway?

How can you have two days AL? That is nothing but useless, they are using it for days off.

Time to stoke the fire again...the dogs are getting cold....

The 2 days leave will be at the start or end of the month with the balance in a different month. Leave is a block of at least four days, which is still pretty useless but there you go.
