Be sure to join us in TeamSpeak as well as we "cruise" around the world...
and watch us on NobleTV...

[Roger Eve]

Ed, just checking, is the roster currently on the Noble TV page the most recent?

[Edward Watson]

I believe it is.. however, the roster is indicative only, it may change depending on how people are feeling, one or 2 have indicated that they are unsure about flying all night nearly every night and sleeping through the day, so we may call for a "swap" volunteer on one or two of the nights etc...

It was never meant to be set in stone, just a starting point.
The printed roster is gruelling for those staying with me.. up all night, sleep when you can with sometimes only a couple of hours off between rosters.

Either way.. between all of us, we'll get the little bird around the world!

[Roger Eve]

That's OK Ed, I just have to be at your place by 07:15 on the Tuesday, but Tony is on at that time so no doubt we can leave from the hotel together. Nothing like going straight in at the deepend I noticed you hadn't rosters me any night flights, perhaps to prevent a divorce but I'm sure it would be fine if needed.

[Norbert Finger]

I might take you up on the offer Roger, will play it by ear as we go.

here is my schedule:

duty start and finish times, thursday to friday looks particularly interesting, it may stretch the CASA rules a bit.

mon 2100 - tue 0755
tue 1930 - wed 0810
wed 1910 - thu 0835
thu 1535 - fri 0810
fri 2110 - sat 0820
sat 1620 - sun 1400

it is getting close now and excitement is building.

[Edward Watson]

Another alternative which was discussed last night between a few of us...

No despatch officer between Midnight and 7am..
This means that everyone still has the same flying hours, but the incoming crew member does his own despatch and flight planning resulting in more sleep!

Pushback and other Despatch duties can still be performed via the FMC.


PS:.. I didn't realise I had been that cruel to you Norbert, may need some tweaking!

Using the above would change your duty time to:

Mon 2100 - Tue 0525
Tue 1930 - Wed 0535
Wed 1910 - Thu 0050
Thu 0440 - Thu 0835 *we may swap this one out
Thu 1535 - Thu 1920
Thu 2315 - Fri 0520
Fri 2110 - Fri 0335
Sat 1620 - Sat 2320
Sun 0130 - Sun 1400 **Despatch on this position may be swapped (resulting in finish 0950)
** the F/O leg on this flight maybe swapped as well meaning a start at 0450
This would mean a finish @ 2320 and back on @ 0450 and finish again @0950.
Sun 1615 - Sun1920 **will be sooner than this as we get ahead of schedule.

The excitement is now building exponentially

[David Franklin]

What Noble call sign should I look for? Because by the pilot who's flying or a special one yaw made for this?
