This post was made today in the Australian forum.
Top marks to the controller in Melbourne last night(around midnight)working Departures, Clearance Delivery as well as baby sitting Essendon with various aeromedical Kingairs arriving and departing, air ambulance chopper and Polair.
He was busier than a one legged man in a bottom kicking competition, as they say.
Nice work.
So my question is, is this type of ATCO workload ( that saves a couple hundred grand a year for Air Services) likely to be a factor in an aircraft accident within the next 30 years?
