Back to West Drayton
 

Knock-on effect of a move to the old LATCC would be zero delay because nearly all the sectors could be opened up! All my old flat -top needed was one or two of the more useful function thingies that the new vertical invisi-view fish tank scramblescope has. I really miss my old headset which worked well for 11 years, I had the previous one for six years before that until the plug fell off. After 18 months here I'm on my fifth...it's not brilliant but at least there is some sidetone that the last two didn't have.

Back To West Drayton? Back to the future!
 

You wouldn't recognise the old ACR at LATCC now.....it's been converted to the new TC Simulator and is full of state of the art TFT and BARCO displays. Leaps and bounds nicer than Swanwick....none of your old 1994 technology!

You prove my point. Most ATSAs don't want to be sitting around reading books, they want to be doing something interesting and demanding. Their role at LATCC may not have been the most fulfilling but it was better than the situation they find themselves in now.

For the record, I prefer working at Swanwick but this was not always the case. My preference for LACC over LATCC increased as I became more comfortable with the kit and practical experiance improved the way we use the system. It's far from perfect but LACC is improving. If only we had the staff to allow us to open all the sectors we need.

I agree - when I visited it was bloody nice - the free lunch was great, still cant figure why you Poms call round rolls and breasts Baps? :O

Dont know what you blokes are all whinging about I had a great time.
