Did I miss understand 45 Mins for 12 Sectors
You did
Even if you are rostered 6 sectors after the first 2 you get new weather and NOTAMS delivered to the aircraft hence you check them there and then.
If I am rostered base to DUB and return then base to Faro I won't even look at the Faro weather until I get back from DUB: no point as everything will change.
And as for NOTAMS - turned up for work to find Prague had NOTAM'd the airport closed: phoned Ops, asked them to check. The response from Prague was......we are open. Why NOTAM a closure then?
