DC10RM,
Almost correct. The ATSAs here have been discussing the consequences of SAMOS installation with the ATCOs, and the issue of workload priority was raised. It was identified that SAMOS would prevail over ATCO support, and therefore this was to the detriment of the VCR ATCOs, who were not happy with this arrangement. I understand that certain ATCOs have raised the issue at local Union/Tech Com level, but no ATCO (Prospect) reps were present at the SAMOS meeting held last week. The meeting was actually called in response to a strongly worded letter to the Project Manager from the PCS Branch Secretary. We are now waiting for Management to come back to us over the issues and possible solutions which were discussed.
