I’m at a large Z. Normal ops is to keep a few sectors combined until around 0700 or later unless traffic dictates otherwise. Twice this week, and it didn’t go unnoticed, we were told to open every single sector by 0630. With no traffic in a few of them, with projected traffic not exceeding low single digits for over and hour. It seemed so weird that it had to be a deliberate choice. I asked the OM why with all the current CDC guidance, etc, are we doing this? “We’re here to provide a service. If we have the bodies we should have the sectors open.” I replied with “there is no one there to provide a service to. This is irresponsible and unnecessary.” The incompetence knows no bounds.
