DVDR,
I was told by a colleague who works at Scottish that part of the problem was that the guys on high level do too many positions and don't get on DCS often enough and by their own admission find it difficult to keep up with the procedures! Perhaps it is time to drop a few or is it because you don't want to have more people on high level for night shifts as they will have fewer validations? I know at Swanwick a lot of people have dropped extra sectors because they feel they don't get enough time on them and we have to do double nights up anyway so that isn't an issue.
Also? from personal experience, a lot of the a/c are not being transferred well before LAKEY when they don't make their level!
I do agree as said before that 1261's are not always the best way forward but I feel that this was a last resort on safety grounds, but they should at least have told whoever was involved they were filing and it is unprofessional if they didn't justify it?
1261, you picked the name
