The DTVA ATC staffing levels are as follows:
To cover H24, 7 days a week there are 21 ATCOs to man Tower and Radar positions (any thought of manning Rad2/Director has long gone).
Of the 21 ATCOs, two are trainees awaitng validation on Tower.
Of the 19 remaining 2 are on maternity leave.
Of the 17 remaining 2 are on sick leave at least until late June.
Of the 15 remaining 1 is part time.
Of the 14.5 remaining 3 have radar ratings but are not valid and are either receiving sporadic radar training or none at all due to having to cover Tower.
This leaves 11 Radar validated controllers.
These figures do not include anyone on leave.
Only one radar controller can be rostered for a whole 8 hour shift on some days.
Doesn't stop barbed comments like "enjoy your cup of tea" etc.
