not seeing how 4 is less than 2
IrishATCO,
I beleieve that the EGCC figure refers to total number available. Thjat would be 2 - one working and one to give a break.
The oft quoted "company rules" for Shannon require 2 ATCO's "working" - Ground and Air H24. Thus there must be another to give breaks without breaching company rules regarding the two positions.
As for the ACCs, you simply have to see the number of sectors banboxed onto one position and the number of movements handled by the controller plugged in.
As has been said elsewhere, the South Sectors may only have 3 rostered.
Please remember that 20 rostered is not the same as even 10 plugged in and working.
Why don't you do a liaision visit to Swanwick and check it out?
You might then realise why despite the poor use made of the ATCO resources available the IAA bean counters come up with numbers which say they have enought controllers.
Serious looks at productivity required.
How many Shannon high sectors? How on earth does Scottish ever survive when the flow is NIBOG and north of?
