Just before starting on my pre-deployment holiday an intersting letter came across the desk from a certain Wg Cdr at LATCC asking that all Sqns/Stns submit to them on a Friday a list of all intended night flying activity that is proposed for the following week. This not being enough he commented that this should be supplemented by 1200 of each day of the night flying week an accurate and up to date list of what actual night flying will take place.
One asks the question, why?? So he can sort manning out? Probably not, as there has been no need in the past. A shortage of military conrollers? Hmmmm, the branch is already well overmanned for commissioned Officers. Finally, so people can have a night off? Your in the AIRFORCE get used to working more than 6 hrs a day!
The proposed solution to this problem is somewhat simple. In that lovely 1960's architects dream of a building just get yourselves a RAF CCIS machine that will provide you with that information for whoever needs the information before promulgating it!!!!!!!!!
Suggestions, comments welcome and please remember that this is not a dig at military controllers because i know the job you do. After all it could be worse Admin Guru may have started the topic, Oh look another lorry load of pencils has just arrived...........
