So today we’re asking: Will you regift any of your Christmas presents?

    Compliant with EWTD and, in addition, by local agreement, have a fatigue break for 20mins every 2 hrs. If ATC have that, why not doctors?

    So the IAA employ the air traffic controllers and also regulate them?
    Conflict of interest perhaps?

    One of the many reasons Google cited for splitting itself up yesterday was to “Drag airports into the 21st century”.

    If you want to stop air traffic controllers making mistakes and killing people by accident, then don’t knock sleeping junkies out of the recovery position. Just some wise words.

    Even if you’ve only ever been to London it’s basically obvious the answer to this question is no!
