Mega Merged: AsA ATC staffing levels

[Slugfest]

Have I got this right?

Consider two (2) controllers; each endorsed for HIGH and LOW sectors for differing geographical areas ruled by two ALMs

Take one off line and replace him and train him to do the HIGH sectors for the another area taking several months of Sim and OJTI and he then has to regain his original HIGH endorsement and of course loses his original LOW ticket.

Once he is back on the job:

Take the other controller off line and replace him and train him to do the LOW sectors for the another area taking several months of Sim and OJTI and he then has to regain his original LOW endorsement and of course loses his original HIGH ticket.

END RESULT after considerable training and replacement

-------Drum roll please------------

Two controllers each rated HIGH and LOW for differing geographical areas ruled by two ALMs

Which was what we started with ….

To quote Professor Julius Sumner Miller– “Why is it so?”
