Actually the reason that visitors are currently discouraged is so that the operational staff are not distracted in their new environment. Similarly the 30% reduction in flow rates is to allow the controllers to get used to the new environment. Reason flow wasn't increased after the first 10 days was that not all controllers had operated on all their sectors, so it was kept on to let everyone get familiar.. .Sorry Bexil but to say that management are keeping people out for fear of what they might discover is pure tosh and poppycock, its to protect the delicate flowers that are our ATCO's. <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
