AyrTC: We at Swanwick are finding to our cost at present that the 90 mins that we thought protected us against fatigue in busy sectors is not legally binding (i.e. SRATCOH) but just a local agreement. As such, any breaches of the 90 mins are not reportable on safety grounds, so many people are now being forced to work up to 2 hours on very busy sectors because there are insufficient staff. All that happens is a note goes in the Watch log. We all know what effect that has on the future: NONE. And the Swanwick local and upper managment get away with crap organisation AGAIN.
