And don't get mad at UAE ACC, we have to do it because we don't have staff. If we didn't do it, we wouldn't get the 1/2 hour break prescribed as the minimum after working 2 and a 1/2 hours of busy traffic. I hope you can sympathise. We want more controllers so this sort of thing doesn't need to happen, but until the package is improved, noone wants to come here. Cheers.
P.S Dr. Evil I'm sure you guys could handle a little anger better than us, considering the amount of time you have away from the radar to get over it.
