4-day on 3-day off roster

[Malacandra]

Gente querida:

Me estoy rompiendo la cabeza y no consigo entender esto:

This role is a FIFO with a 4-day on 3-day off roster.

Contexto: cargo para un trabajo en las minas de Australia, por lo que FIFO equivale a fly-in fly-out. Lo que está en negrita es lo que no comprendo... ¿Alguien lo tiene claro?

¡Gracias!

Hello.

FIFO can also mean 'first in, first out'.

A 4-day on 3-day off roster is a work schedule where the employee works 4 days and is off for 3 days. (He is on duty for 4 days and off duty for 3 days.)

Hope this helps.

It helps a lot! Thanks.

And yes, I also found that FIFO can mean first in, first out, but given the context of the whole document I think here it means fly in, fly out.

Thanks a lot, kayokid. Cheers!
