Mate it's all hit and miss. They had all the guys parked on the eastern apron of the eastern RWY and same for the west. Problem is although there are SIDS for each RWY it creates a massive problem for radar cause lots of guys of the west RWY have to cross extended centre line of the east cause of the flight plan routing. Last week they tried guys to depart off the primary runway regardless where yet were parked but customers not happy. We mostly 2 guys on a shift but sometimes it's not enough cause it means 6 hrs and no break... But also depends on how many on leave. Supposedly new recruits but have not seen them. Interesting place to work to be honest. Living wise.... Ummm that one still figuring out.
