I've just discovered that everything on this topic is totally untrue. Having read the transcript of an interview on BBC Radio by our illustrious Chief Executive, I now realise that there is no shortage of controllers. In fact there is a surplus of "sixty odd controllers". Disregarding, for a moment, his right to describe any of his controllers as "odd", he went on to state that the only reason that sectors were ever closed was because the traffic demand was insufficient. Now, how could I have been so stupid as to believe there was actually a staff shortage on Saturday? I just hope that management will forgive my naivety. I must have been misinformed by some of those sixty surplus controllers! I trust that everybody will now be suitably reassured????
