You can cut your night manning by 50%.


Ha ha ha, thanks Nimmer! Will I, as part of the watch management team, be exempt from being sliced in half or do I get to choose which of my colleagues becomes sushi?!


Just one serious but obviously hypothetical question, at unit X where there are currently three ATCOs on night duty, we'll assume this new plan reduces staffing by 33% thus leaving two on duty. What happens if or when one of the two remaining staff declares unfit for duty and the other ATCO, who would previously have been on nights, has already been re-allocated to other operational duties? How would that be covered? Interesting question don't you think?
