After such experience I do not believe to ANSPs when they said that they need staff but they need 2 or so months to examine CV. Then 2 or so months for interview. Then 2 or so months for results. Then 2 or so months for further process. Than 2 or so months for legal papers. And finally when you arrived you realized that no single paper has been solved so you would spend a few week more out of job solving papers.
You are, however, giving a perfect example for
management not working properly. It is not an example of sufficient staffing at all.
DFS needs 200 ATCOs NOW. The waiting times are just another example of management problems which lead us to that need in the first place.
No single person operation,staff are satisfied,enough leave and not too much work. Overtime is unknown noun.
And that is exactly not the case at places like the US, Ireland or Germany.
So, would you still say we are not understaffed?!
