Why the supervisor so eger to combine positions???
Plenty of staff so keep them open! They seem not happy unless we are drowning!
Even AT 1 is already close to the limit and we use for nearly 20 years. No allowance for learning new ATMS??!

Hope that Mumbai experience would not be repeated when Hong Kong starts ATC operation using Raytheon AT3

CB, that was a rather old link and I bet you could not produce a recent one. Anyway, Raytheon, within ten years' time, will disappear in major ATM service providers and prevail, at most, in the third world airports.
How much rupees does Autotrac 3 cost?? Raytheon deserves this ending.....well deserve!

I am not looking forward to see the PFI tomorrow morning, instead the afternoon shift will be very interesting.To make the PFI appearing successful, the morning shift imposes a very harsh flow control that very few planes can come in in the first half of day, the second half of the day which is the afternoon shift will take them all. When is the stop of this PFI?!
No more PFI, we are willing to use the new system. it is a very good system, we love it. very user friendly. want to marry it. kiss it, make loooooe with it.

PFI 'reversion' today proves the AT3 system is not 'ready'.i.e. 'stable'
Whilst 'full' ATC operations were handed over to the new ATC Centre as part of the 'proving of operational readiness', there was a multiple failure of System 1 2, and 3 it was running on the last 'survival' system, namely 'Ultimate Fallback System' = UFS and had to be 'immediately' handed back to the current AT1 system. ATC confidence in the new system is at an all time 'low'. Stress levels of Controllers has peaked to a point where there have been events, occurrences and emotional breakdowns.

PFI - "Progressive Functional Implementation"
ATC speak for, 'we haven't proven the system' reliably, but we're running out of time and will go 'live' regardless of ATCO under confidence!
There's been at least one other 'reversion', but kept in house.
The pilots, flying public, operational ATCO's deserve better, than an in house denial and suppression of the facts.
An external and independent assessment is required! Urgently!

Reading the news today, the project team blame controller entered wrong information to Autotrac 3 that the them machine crashed. WTF 
This useless and vulnerable system should go to hell with Raytheon and the project team.
