Minumum requirement to maintain certification......Huh?? OK, I'm not the sharpest tool in the box (and some people would say just a tool), but what the hell are you on about?
Something came to mind, and please if anybody can fill the gaps, feel very free. While there has been an over-ruling in the old "night-flight" debarcle, we still are curfewed between 2300 and 0600. So, I guess if you lifted the curfew, more jets could use us? What are the night limitations on other places?

In my view,london ATC is the best in the world,particularly one
en route controller who sounds as though he is in his smoking jacket with slippers on and wearing a cravatte,so calm and collected and speaks slowly enough for everyone to understand.
The worst in the developed world are the americans sitting there with caps on the wrong way chewing gum,rattling away as if they are auctioneers and working out how to stuff up the next " heavy". Australia isnt far behind the US,lack of judgement and inclined to panic if there are 2 aircraft in the air approaching
sydney simultaneously.Qantas are of course given the shortest track,and this applies to Bangkok and singapore controllers.
The french? enough said about them!

thanks frangatang,
I didn't realise you had a webcam positioned on my sectors although it mustn't be wide angled or you'd see that most of the time I also have my feet up on the sector and wear a bow tie rather than a crevatte.

Efficiency depends on your persepctive.
As a regular domestic commuter, the effect of running at 99% capacity is significant delays are the norm on most domestic routes.
try visiting the exec lounge on a typical workday evening at around 1700 and ask the punters if they think its efficient?
