Just a reminder - Spot's Court Martial starts on 27th Jan.

There's a great deal of interest from the media and, to his great credit, Spot has shunned the exposure. Expect to see this featured on the TV, radio and in the newspapers. The charges being brought by the RAF carry a 4 year jail sentence; I guess he'd be the first british atco to go to jail for providing RIS. Give it some thought before you plug-in!

I've heard the term "duty of care" being bandied about. I must ask, where was the Airforces' "duty of care" in encouraging/allowing/insisting that one of their controllers plug-in having buried his father a matter of 3 days earlier? It stinks!
