trying to work out the practicalities of doing the SAMOS task
Are you a NERL controller? The following will be a mystery to you in terms of how tightly things have to be run at a contract airport.

I am wondering how I do that with minimal staff manning all positions/facility time and breaks. We are a watch of FIVE. One in tower one in radar one on a break one on leave and a watch manager doing the stuff that comes his/her way.Explain to me WHO will have time to do MET during the day on contingency. Will it be the person on a break? Will that qualify as a breaking of a non responsibility break? What if we are in LVP's?

You have no idea how much I personally think this is a bad idea.....to say nothing of shafting the ATSA's.
