How often has this late TWR opening occured?
Similar incident last year - on 24 July 2004.
So, if it's happened before, why isn't there a contingency plan for staff shortages? Or, if there is a contingency plan, was it used on this occasion? If not, why not?
As I said above, I agree that fatigue can cause or contribute to workplace accidents. But, with great respect, neither your collegues or yourself adduce any evidence of fatigue in this case. Rather than just making a blanket statement, perhaps you'd like to elaborate on, say, the rostering practices at CBR, any recent excessive overtime/extension of shifts, lack of sufficient rest time between shifts, frequency of movements etc; then state which, if not all are to be found in the current CBR tower working environment; and why you say all of these provide a causal link to the controller being late for work on the day concerned. If there's an OH&S (or worse) issue here, let's have it aired and dealt with, promptly.
