Scottish Independence will sort this out. A Scottish CAA may realise that relief breaks needed at places like EGLL/KK etc are rather draconian at quieter airfields. EGPO used to be done by two guys and EGPL by one.....and the pay reflected the hours very nicely thank you. I'm sure that a dispensation/compensation package could be arrived at by all parties....if there is a will to do it.


Just because EGPO might not have the movements that you demi gods at NERC (or whatever its called this week) handle what gives you the right to suggest that the ATCO doesn't require a break. How do you know that he/she is not the only person on that day, and how long at the desk should they do before a break.

The guys up there are working hard to cope with what is an extremely difficult situation and I'm sure your comments are really welcome.
