A Question of SCRATCOH
This is a question for for controllers at UK CAA regulated units. How usual is it for SCRATCOH to be considered the norm rather than a maximum limit for controlling hours? Am I right in thinking, for instance, many controllers are expected to work a 10 hour long shift under busy traffic conditions with the obligatory 30 min break every 2 hours? If this is you, or you are worked to other SCRATCOH limits, how do you feel afterward? Is SCRATCOH a step forward to regulate fatigue? Does it get in the way of efficiency? It should be a discussion to better understand the issue. So, please be considerate in your responses.
