5 Miles Yes I think you may have it slightly wrong.If we have to work to rule yes we do need to work 1 1/2 hours on and then take a 1/2 hour break.I think you will find that the majority of NATS units do that any way (We certainly do not have the luxury if 45 mins on 45 mins off up here.
)It would also mean giving up eg's working full night shifts and manning sectors correctly even if there was no traffic on them
no bandboxingbut still insist the sector was double manned then when a break is needed
management will have to close sectors to provide relief.Please look at the long term,working to rule can be a double edged sword but it is about time operational staff picked up some kind of weapon for their defence.
