Availability of Controllers
I suggest that all ATCOs in non operational positions, irrespective of grade, are redeployed to the Ops room for the summer. From my own perspective and since moving to NERC I have had no fam flights, no liaison visits, no courses, just continuous and unrelenting work. The last thing I want right now is a change to working practices. After discussion with colleagues it seems that controller burnout is a very real possibility. Anyway...my suggestion to close the offices for the summer months is surely worth consideration!
