This is done to basically maximise time in the sim - this being the main bottleneck for pushing trainees through. Of course, this is pretty much hearsay, so I'd love it if an actual controller / trainee could correct me! 😊
As for half days, I've heard it isn't uncommon to be let out an hour or two early, but excluding the Christmas shutdown and when we have the cockpit work experience thingy I assume that'll be it.
Oh and best of luck to you guys in the Assessment Centre!
Hey exiflame, that definitely makes a lot more sense. Do you happen to know how long the Christmas shutdown is?
Oh yeah also, I still seem to be in the probationary period for my account and still can't see your private message, I'm not sure whether it's a matter of time or whether I need to post more to lift the probation.
Good luck to everyone participating in the Assessment Centre next month
