30mins, just like yours?
Of course, while Dublin staff were establishing the principle of fatigue breaks some of your colleagues were happy to sacrifice them in favour of Off Time. Can't have your cake and eat it...
Dublin is short staffed and under resourced, ask any of the staff transferred to Dublin with SNN approach how long they will wait for a second rating...in some cases SCPs in DUB have waited six years to obtain second ratings while former classmates in the school who remained in SNN obtained three.
One of the arguments advanced by HQ re. staffing in DUB is that with the transfer of 14 staff to man SNN approach we have enough staff in the station, yet nobody seems willing to provide the resources to train those staff in DUB positions. Meanwhile one DUB tower controller routinely provides leave in CRK and a number of the SNN approach contingent have to travel to CRK to remain valid in CRK approach.
