Anybody else finding it a bit boring??

Traffic levels are coming up again, but the aeroplanes don't seem to be trying very hard to hit each other & sequencing is a snap.

Anybody else bored?

Karrank, fancy a stint in the sandpit then? We are short a few, traffic is up 65%, major airspace changes, massive mil action. Boring? Not.

a) Traffic levels rising? Yes
b) Boring - God, no!
c) Fed up with "down-turn" propaganda? God, yes!

Don't know about the traffic but this forum's got boring! About the only thing that's got people going is the prospect of a forum just for NATS whingers.

Does it tell you something????

well in a different part of the sandpit...

Traffic levels up 79%

Not counting military flights

bored???????

not really.

Hey Iron ++ only 65% in your part of the sandpit?

I guess you guys count the mil?

TT leave the Poms alone....

I can see from the tone of the debate that you Euro types really don't have anything to do!

Still, we have been just sitting watching screens for a while, it's our turn to do a bit for a change

A boring situation is in the mind of the beholder and I've never experienced boredom ever in ATC. It sure wasn't boring this morning - I arrived for work at 6am to see all four Heathrow stacks full and 20+ minutes holding. We must have landed around 50 heavies in the next hour. That's why I look 57 but I'm actually only 23!!!
