It does save a hella lot of money winding down a building for an extended period.
I have seen the figures for a building of similar size and its lots of naughts.
It was only done once though. As said by the previous person there was unknown to the managers who gernerally wern't in at the time a serious amount of work done in that period.
A combination of the managers not being in and those that were not hitting the numbers to create meetings. Mean't that any back log was cleared over the holiday period. Also any long term low priority projects used to get a fair wack taken out of them or competed.
The reason why the CAA have decided to take those 3 days could be it gives them a chance to do some heavy IT maintence. 3 days with no users and being allowed to rip the ceilings out with no bitchs from hell moaning because the wires are out and there is no work ordered for thier deptment. Servers can be dropped and reconfigured upgraded without cutting into up time performance targets.
Its only an idea but proberly not true as its to sensible.
Jan is going to be hell though if you need anything done quickly.
The board in the FCL front desk was full by 9am last time i was in. You will have to get there pretty early if thats going to be an option.

It's reassuring to know that the CAA are saving our money.
Will fees be reduced from 2nd Jan. 2006?
Thought not.
Vastly expensive. Vastly inefficient.
Big Brother is alive and well......it isn't robbing you of your liberty, though, it's robbing you of your cash!
