just curious to see what people favour and why.

Not sure as none of them apply to me ;-)

I'll go for a 4 day week though as it'll give me more time to do what I do now, with no time :-)

Remember, rotating day off's do not apply to reserves. In fact nothing applies to us.

i'm really fancying four day weeks. four days solid graft, one recovery day, and a couple of days to get things done and have a bit of a life.

A weekend off would be nice occassionally by occassionally I mean more than twice a year.

6 day week with 6th week off

4 Day week,it's the nuts.

But baring in mind the majority of us work for 5 days,the rolling rest day is the fairest.

None of this fixed day off crap!

Wouldn't have it any other way now.

5 weeks on, 1 week off, 6 day week

i'm never more than 2 1/2 weeks away from a week off and with annual leave included i'm got about 3 months off each year

as a possible bonus to this, if we DO get a supplement for d2d included in the deal then i've getting paid for 1/3 more than i accually deliver

The nine day fortnight looks pretty good, 4 days off every fourth weekend, 8hr 45 minutes a day (if 40 minutes comes off working week) I'd bite their hands off if that was offered.

In order to have a 4 day week I thought posties had to accept a longer delivery.
If the walks are going to increase under any new deal then to still have a 4 day week, you would have to have an even longer delivery span.
How would that be possible?
Who would want to do it?

Five six-day weeks, then rest week. That's the one for me.
