Any single staffers enjoying the new regs?
Posted: 08-16-2012, 09:12 PM

GENOT came out that any single staffed towers that are 24/7 have to conduct radio checks with their approach control on the hour and at 30 min past the hour and approach has to to line check with the tower every 15 and 45 minutes past the hour.

I guess this is to combat the wave of sleeping on position incidents that we've had.

We've been doing that for over a year already. It sucks but you get used to it I guess

Well Mr. Cool Internet Man, for whatever reason, this was just pushed down to us in my region. Do you work in a single staffed control tower? If not, then maybe thats why its just now getting down to us. The rule was only officially put into effect 2 days ago.

If you're jealous because you dont have the confidence or the muscles to wear a short-sleeve mesh shirt then thats your problem.
