Exactly.

What precisely was wrong with the "London-weighting" system in place before this banding scam came into place?

Scuzi

I'mnotaneric claimed his location was Swanwick well before TC moved, so I have always taken it as meaning that although he was an En-route Contoller, he was not an En-Route Incompetent Controller!

I don't think the "c" stands for controller.

I have mates at Scottish who admit it's not as busy as down south.

They must be lying!

Ac or TC?

One has almost enough staff, the other closes sectors because of a lack of staff... unless they close sectors to enable longer breaks.

As for equipment - yes it's modern, but you have phone lines that work and a radar that displays.... what more do you need to do your job? Brand new equipment is all very well but it doesn't always have advantages of kit that has been in place for ages and is therefore bug free.

anotherthing,

Just curious has to how many of your stretched staff at AC had to be plugged in for 12 out of 16 hours over 2 shifts this weekend.

I bet more than a few of them were putting the finishing touches to their Christmas shopping before I got my first break.

You guys don't know you're born!

12 out of 16 hours?

Sounds like a SCRATCOH bust to me

You could in theory work 13 hours maximum on SRATCOH over the period mentioned.

Locally enhanced relief is not SRATCOH.
