5miles... only get my info on the Centres secondhand.

Is it no longer the case that controllers cop a formal interview when their total amount of overtime accepted over the year is particularly low? Is it true that one controller received a series of formal interviews in regard to his availability for overtime? Don't know how old the information is and it could no longer be the norm.

As for social cliques... yes, there is no difference to any other large workplace environment... but there is a palpable difference in culture between the Centres and the remote TCU/Towers.
