Winter schedules have now been published, now that we have a better idea of what winter traffic levels will be like and now that most airports know the amount of financial struggles they face, has any ANSP decided on effective cost saving measures yet? I'm hearing of some airports reducing hours, this will obviously affect rostered cover required which in turn equals less ATCOs needed in the short term. There were murmurings of enhanced retirement packages a while ago to encourage those near the age to leave early, also talk of 2/3 working time and 1/2 working time etc. Nothing seems to have actually happened though - not sure if thats good or bad!
