The latest one on Coral's link re; the very northwestern brissy sector seemed to confirm the extreme reluctance to TIBA. The word is that a previously used technique of a short term TIBA early and late in the doggo (during quiet bits) to facilitate breaks for the lone staff member was overlooked in favour of getting an unrated supervisor to babysit during any required breaks, expected to be a total of at least 1 hour as it is an 8 hour shift. The controller responsible was, unsuprisingly, reluctant to leave an unrated person in charge of the dozen or more that you get in that part of the world for most of the early morning and of subsequently soldered on through most of the shift untill it got quiet enough to have a break, with the exeption of a quick loo break. There was, of course, no notification of the reduction (or absence) of control services to the industry at any time except the usual "possible delay".
