UK CAA no phones day?

[Sam Rutherford]

I have heard that the UK CAA are having one day per week where they don't answer the phones/email - to concentrate on the EASA transition.

Whilst I actually think this is probably a good strategy (two days might even be better ;))- does anyone know if this is fact, or just rumour? And which day it might be if true?

Thanks, Sam.

For a fact I know it is a rumor which applies on just the Tuesday.

On which day do they answer the phones at the moment?

I must have missed it!

What's wrong with saturday and sunday for transition training?

[keith williams]

The service provided on Saturdays and Sundays is just as good as it is on weekdays........they don't answer the phones!

I have had cause to ring FCL several times recently, no problem with a response and the recorded message warns that they do not answer Wednesday afternoons for EASA training

Well to be fair I have not had cause to ring them for almost two and a half years now.

So it is quite possible that they have found the phone and started to answer it.
