On the issue of ATCO's verifying SAMOS met obs; when are the ATCO's going to be sent on Met Observer Courses when we can't all get our leave in anyway 'cos we're perenially short staffed. What sort of timescale are we talking about for the takeover. Do management realise how much a Met Observer Course costs including allowances?
NB For those Area bods who don't know, SAMOS obs. need to be verified by a person who is also a qualified Met Observer.
