dontshootme.

If you read back through this thread you will see that this is just what I was advocating and was well and truly hauled out to dry for it.

Unfortunately there is a belief that we are no longer a mobile grade. And even if we were then not many are prepared to move down south to the areas with a high cost of living. Therefore i will repeat that it is essential that a major gap is established between the salaries at LACC/LTCC/EGLL etc to encourage staff that the move is worthwhile.

OK time to duck below the bullet line!!

Surprised to read that Swanwick ATCOs are working their conditioned hours....

That'll be why the 12 beds provided in the building are generally oversubscribed?

Yes they are. And have you bothered to check who uses them. I'm not going to start a war between ATCOs/ATSAs and the rest of the staff who are around on nights-so go away and check your facts.

ATCOs can have a rest period,depending on validations, of upto 2 hours on nights and still not break SRATCOH and it is sometimes awkward to find a place not already occupied by shall we say, non-operational staff.

And as our conditioned hours include fatigue breaks then yes,we are working our hours at LACC.
