Why would The Red Barron get excited about the MACC sub-roster? Allegedly it was agreed by the unions to match staff attendances to traffic levels. Now, according to the Eurocontrol complexity document, MACC comes in at No.5, (TC No.1), LACC at No.28 ( Way down there). Surely the staff at this fairly complex unit (EGCC) should enjoy enhanced relief to cope with what must be intense weekday traffic levels? Also in a profession where safety is paramount, we cannot afford to have fatigued ATCOs on duty?
Spot on Zooker. So how come it has already been suggested that those on the roster-and apparently there are up to 10 of them at any time-just use it to maximise AAVAs at what obviously is a busy and complex unit. I guess fatigue goes out of the window where cash is concerned?
I still also can't understand why apparently the 5th most complex and busiest unit in Europe hardly ever puts on a regulation(except for S29, 1st thing in the morning for about an hour)
You guys really must be the best.
or my Watch Supervisors have a lot to learn about regulations.
