Training hold

[Mike Kilo]

This.

Also just heard we’re being issued mask. Guessing this is gonna be part of the training plan.

I was gonna separate them but my mask got in the way!

So back to the point of this thread, any workgroup updates?

They decided to get sub sandwiches delivered for the next meeting. That was the agenda for today’s meeting.

 

[ClearanceClarence]

The workgroup has been meeting for over 2 months and the only thing that’s come out of it is “hey, how about some Zoom classes!!” I think it’s fair to say expectations are low.

I think the mask wearing should be less if a political issue. Even post covid or whatever, if you have a cold, you should wear a mask to work-like they do in other countries. I don't know if it's legal or plausible to require them. I'm not wearing one but my trainees better

In developed countries we have sick leave for that

Sick leave is for commies

For real tho how am I supposed to work traffic with foggy glasses. Attn all aircraft in the pattern use caution I can't see anything.

If you can’t control off “feel” and sheer instinct alone then you need to find a new job

You got a point there, I will watch some how to use the force vids later.

It's called non-radar look it up

Interesting. I have 2 r sides and 7 d side sectors and my recert was just at 1 single radar sector that covered all my positions

I’m just on d sides. We didn’t have the bodies to take up an extra r side for the sector and to be plugged in with me on the cert for two different runs, one on the highs, one on the lows.

why did you need 2. I did one 30 min and got all my sectors back.

They didn’t want to do it like that I guess? You’re preaching to the choir.

I mean I think it’s a reg somewhere. Should be the same

I'm sorry, but I am not sitting next to my trainee, or whatever when they come back if distancing is still in place. If you can put me at a spare scope fine, your debrief form will be in your box... I don't have to sit next to other controllers now, so why should I have to sit next to a trainee? I always hated sitting next to my trainee when they would cough and shit before, now, forget that nonsense.

 

[Soss]

Well yeah, that's a given lmao.

Now soliciting ideas for Phillyman's gubmint-mandated pole-hole cover, hit me with them proofs.

Man you trainees sure are getting spicy. Kudos for picking something a tower only CPC wouldn't know anything about.

 

[Soss]

Gov says it safe for me to d side. Still waiting for clarification why it’s not safe to train. I guess 3 feet lateral separation is better than 3 feet longitudinal separation.

It's because your trainer can't intimidate you by holding up his mic in front of your face waiting to override you

I’m not wearing a mask, it’s more dangerous to wear one then not unless you are ultra high risk.

Source?
