World Summit
Hammerheads
This Summit from an ATC perspective is going to be very interesting!! If management have a plan up their sleeves, i.e flow control, slots,etc then us mushrooms are being treated as normal. Our sector capacity on a normal day is over-utilized, and we are supposed to handle more? The stacks are going to be full!!!
We haven't seen any plans yet except for the requirement to file FPL's 24hrs before ETD. What do we do- Let the hordes in from the North, and stop domestics because we have run out of R/T space?
In reply to your question on staffing levels- we are probably at 40% of required levels- if two people book off sick at once, sectors close. We had one controller who's MANDATORY leave was refused due lack of staff. Pleasant for him, maybe he'll have some next year!!
Good luck to you all!
