    I wish.....

    The mining industry here in most places work a FiFo....fly in - fly out roster. You fly to site, work solidly until your roster ends then fly home for RnR.

    I started on a 2 weeks on - 1 week off roster....then did a 9 days on - 5 days off for the last 9 years and just recently commenced a 8/6. I fly to work Wednesday morning, work 11- 12 hour days and fly out the following Wednesday evening.
