Don’t worry about the negative comments the same was said when SEN started CAX will do very well I know from local excitement and enthusiastic locals as well as my local geographic knowledge of the area that CAX will do much better than people think the moaners know nothing they just think they talk the talk but they will be eating their words this time next year.

The published service is ATC, not AFIS. By NOTAM it can be reduced to A/G. The service is suspended of course while the airfield is closed to fixed wing aircraft. The extended hours of operation to accommodate the scheduled flights will presumably give rise to higher staffing levels , hence the recruiting.

If June is the opening time and services commencing then..how will the ATCOs be trained in time? Thought it took a while to get up to speed with licenses etc? I know DTV have been through a difficult time for the same reason and still have closures..they also have a lot more traffic to practice with?

I'm guessing that CAX doesn't have radar so if it's just visual control then not much training involved, if I cared to put the clock back some 40 years I could do it myself but I'm having too much of a good time where I am!
