More time than sense

So we're now looking at a Mike post Split Duty.

This Mike is a tired Mike.

However, due to the caffeine required to meet the clearly spurious requirement to be alert when operating a 34-tonne jet, this Mike can't grab a quick nap just yet. So as the copious amounts of caffeine wear off and the sweet abyss of sleep beckons once more, I shall regale you with many a story of woe and trial.

Well, maybe.

Today, our roster came out for the next month. It comes out on the 10th of every month ("but it's the 11th!" I hear you yell -I'll get to this). Crewing have a monthly nightmare with the roster, given that we've too few captains and still just slightly too few aircraft for all our routes. The standard practice is that the roster will come out late on the 10th, and then for the rest of that week you're confirming furious changes as they try to get the whole thing to make sense. I've got a copy of my new roster and will soon be transferring it all over to google calendar for the greater glory of Mike. This month, Crewing had slightly more trouble than usual, and looking at people's rosters it's no wonder - there's some interesting things going on (we're talking Hotels in Heathrow for flights from Stansted and the like). Still, they seem to have made ends meet for another month so all seems well.

Some interesting facts about my Roster until the end of July:
