And to be honest, it's not really ALL night is it?
Like the Perth, Adelaide and Cairns Approach controllers are a single man/woman doggo on their pat malone all night in a remote environment?

The single person doggo, an Airservices specialty. To put two on a doggo would require 2 controllers per group. That would eat into the profits.

Look at the bull**** letter to industry when Fraser last went TIBA...single person doggo was not mentioned.

Single person night shifts. Good for your profits when you have lots of goodwill from those not quite 100% (in violation of CARS) to keep the ship sailing. When you bend staff over the table, when you threaten, when you lie, when you make money hand over fist and cry poor, where does goodwill go?

Traffic levels are up, staffing is down, whoops may have cut the rosters a bit tight and not training anyone for a while may have been an oversight but hey...look at the profits!!!

Traffic_Is_Er_Was say hello to every one at Spin City (AWB). Hope to see some new faces on the front of the next Azimuth (someone on his 7th shift in 144 hours minus an hour or so for FAID with his eyeballs hanging won't be trendy).
