https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/questio...2195803AAlMd9t just reading this on yahoo answers and they are talking about the longest shifts they have done and they are mentioning 35-40 hours shifts so just wondering what is the longest shift you have ever done?

Bizarre question to be asking, if you don't mind my saying.

For what possible reason could you feel the need to be asking it?

48 hours work without sleep - Fixing aircraft :eek:

longest period of work without a day off was 5.5 Months 12 hours a day.

Thats the military for you though - and no overtime !

Ive seen the light now though

Wow and I thought that one time I did a 17 hour shift was long I also did a 14 hour shift and a few 12 hour shifts in the same 2 weeks (no day off); the joys of saving for a wedding

Without sleep probably 20hrs but sleeping on site and "on-call" a few days/nights.

36 hours. It wasn't much fun, but I'd do it again if the same 'operational reasons' came up.

Years ago, I regularly worked 12 hour shifts for a few days at a time. Don't do that now though...
