you should of seen Saturday afternoon in Syd!!!!
Besides thunderstorms we had two people only for departures from 4pm till 10pm. Approach was missing two, sectors around us were going TIBA now and then and parts of our airspace was uncontrolled!!!!!
Aircraft must of put on so much extra fuel several needed very long downwinds just to get under max landing weight! Aircraft that would normally track via Ric or Kat outbound had to plan out via Wol or ENTRA as departures west was not manned. Absolute Shambles!!!!!!!!!!
