Wait why don't we solicit tips!

I leave my QR code at the FBOs next to a sad story of how their last approach was serviced by a Make-A-Wish controller. It currently funds my TSP contributions enough that I opened a second one under my favorite child's name and it's funded by a trust I set up.

My soon to be ex facility is going 6 manning. All thanks to some dickwad in HQ that wants to stat pad their resume.

Mind blowing. We’re barely bidding 4 per crew at a center

Not to brag but my area bid mostly 3 per crew. Busiest area at a level 12 Z.

Numbers per crew conversation means nothing without context. Facility type, number of positions, number of sectors, airspace size, complexity, etc. Move on to something with substance.

Maintaining consistent bowel movements during irregular shifts can be challenging. Try to establish a regular eating schedule, stay hydrated, and include fiber-rich foods in your diet. Additionally, find time for short breaks and light physical activity, as they can aid digestion and promote regular bowel movements.

Ok fine. 6 sectors plus D sides. 4 per crew level 11 traffic, busy low sectors running approaches, feeding busy Core 30 airport

What does this have anything to do with the article ? We all know most people are short. You want an award for your perception of being shorter than others ?

You asked for context. Don’t be stupid

I didn’t ask for context.

I said it means nothing without context, move on to something with substance.

There’s a difference, words matter.

No one cares if you have 4 ppl per crew or 6. They don’t give a shit.
