I have no idea what the training system is at Newcastle but 5 months is a tad optimistic! Most of the larger airports have a 3 month notice period so even if someone was to accept a job now it'll be April before they start, valid in 2 months? I would have thought 8 resignations has probably also affected the training capability of the unit, wonder how many of those left have OJTI endorsements? And are they prepared to train multiple controllers in a very intense time period along with the pressures that brings?
