What do they expect when we are obviously incredibly short of staff.
RTE latest report:

One qoute:
At Shannon Airport last night, controllers stopped providing cover for flights between 6pm and 9pm.
Where is this LIE coming from? Really. Shannon tower and indeed Shannon center low level was kept open by the skin of its teeth last night BUT OPEN IT WAS. Whats this crap about providing cover? I dont cover anyone or anything except my own arse. I do provide an air traffic control service though.
How would one put RTE straight on such a basic mistake, and what would be the best way to educate RTE on the meaning of , and differance between " open" and "closed"
