How does the Pitman schedule work?

Each crew follows a 14-day cycle: 2 shifts, 2 off, 3 shifts, 2 off, 2 shifts, 3 off. With 12-hour shifts that is 42 hours a week on average.

What is the difference between Pitman and 2-2-3?

None in the rhythm: Pitman is the common name for the 2-2-3 cycle. Fixed Pitman keeps each crew on days or nights; rotating versions swap them.
