Great question Monopole!
AsA management assure us it would never happen
In an emergency or urgent situation we are supposed to do our best to assist. However without local knowledge of airports/procedures/coordination/seperation standards/airspace etc I have difficulty in imagining the unqualified controller would be any help at all!
Also, remember this unqualified break is to let AsA reduce the qualified night staff from two to one. Not only are you getting unqualified "help" but the qualified ATC will have their eyes hanging out of their head with only minimal breaks (20 min over an 8 hour shift). The lack of night staff was seriously implicated in the Uberlingen(sp?) disaster and here we are trying the same thing. Onya AsA
