Our metering restrictions test period ends today, January 5th. The question that has risen is “Now What?”
A Collaborative Work Group met around the holiday’s to propose a change that will be coming soon (by the end of January). In the mean time I have agreed with the C area to continue the test period restrictions. I think this is easiest on the pilots and minimizes controllers on the confusion of what the expected clearance is since it will change in the very near future.
As this is not ideal, I want to remind everyone that we have the right to ask for the old procedures for an individual metering session, a specific sector, or even an entire shift if needed.
Natca is also soliciting volunteers to be Cadres for IST Round 11 in March. Cadre training dates are Tuesday, February 27-Wednesday, February 28. IST training will occur March 4-14. Please advise me no later that Sunday, January 7th if you are interested.
