The situation in shannon tonight is again down to staffing numbers, 1 controller in the tower from 2100 to 0000, when two are required, and the fact that there is no one available to work overtime is not unofficial aciton, as described in the press release, as we do NOT HAVE MANDATORY OVERTIME.
Is this a regular occurence in Shannon, and how long have staff been giving them a dig out by covering on OT?
Serves them right for cutting to the bone and expecting fatigued controllers to take up the slack. How dare we want adequate rest periods?
