6/4 works? In what world?

It finisishes late, and starts early, so if you find it acceptable that you ALWAYS commute home on your OFF days, then it "works"

But that means you do not have 6/4 roster, you have 8/2 roster or maybe if lucky 7/3

Looking at the big picture!

That's what is the problem with the industry today, people that unfortunately believe it is ok to be treated like this, and think this is normal and acceptable!

Because of this, people in this outfit will constantly be moaning and complaining, but nothing will ever change!

You are your own worst enemy.

Another "perk", your HP days are flawed. If you take 14 days HP days, already in your 6/4 roster, you could have 8 days OFF in this period. But you do not get your OFF days, you have to to work back your OFF days from your HP days!

As an example a friend of mine recently took 4 HP days with a proper company, also Lo-Co, with those 4 HP days, they gave him 2 wrap around days on each side, and another 2 days OFF from guaranteed. So for 4 HP days, they gave him in total 10 days OFF!

In your outfit/this outfit, for the same example you would loose 8 HP days to get the same amount of time OFF.

Not much you can do, as when this outfit is made to pay taxes and liabilities that is genuine, they will most likely going bankrupt!
This company is a gigantic tax scamming company, and sooner or later the authorities and regulations will catch up with them!

Why?

Because it is in the best interest of everybody, that all companies plays the game with the same rules!

Unless this is NOT the company I'm thinking about....

When I worked for them 6/4 worked well, quite often you would start and end on a Standby day but more importantly IF there was sufficient cover you could actually commute on your Standby days, plus free flights within company network from day one made things a lot easier.

Looking at a recent previous post, would indicate that this probably was my old Company ;-)

Probably is Smokie, but believe me now that is not going to happen on 80% of your roster periods.

You going to start EARLY, and finish very very Late!
