To answer the original question, I don't see Swanwick hitting maximum capacity for at least 10 years, due to the current shortage and suspected increase of traffic over this time.
Air Vent, one of the Scottish ATCO's is now actually valid down here, but still not a good pass rate from the course.
Mr Chips , about CCTV 'NERC have no access to it - even during FLOP/SwIMM when it becomes essential ' Why is it essential???? Just so the TC assistants can go to bed and not use the good old dog and bone to pass an airbourne estimate??? I think this is actually much safer now as during the usual mayhem in LACC we now know exactly whats coming, and not just lucky if we see all the airbourne times on the CCTV and get the strips out in time. Old system stank badly .
