What shifts do TMCs work at Centers?

[tohow]

I would like to know what the shifts are typically like at a Z for TMCs. Do they work mid shifts or does the TMU shut down overnight?

 

[ATCJockey]

This is what their shift is like

Yep! Here they just prove they are not colorblind and call down to the area to split sectors whenever they see a color on the board with no regard for proposals or descending traffic. Or you might get a call to administer a T route for weather avoidance that puts the aircraft directly into the weather. But hey, what else would you expect from a level 5 CPC that never worked a day of radar in their life?

You would think by not having to work mids and having a pretty normal sleep cycle they would be the fittest bunch in the center. Nope, they are most sloth like bunch you will ever see. Eating McDonalds in between licks of the OMs cock

Thanks for an actual answer (not that the cheesecake jokes are worn out or anything).

13:00-14:00 issue TMIs to increase the workload of your controllers while doing nothing to make the inbound traffic better for them

But my dad worked that area so i'm familiar with it

 

[Phillyman2633]

Yeah and usually before SWAP ends to boot

Anyone know if Memphis center tmu works mids?

 

[DankVectorz]

Whenever there’s been heavy storms and delays and GDP’s in effect all day, they like to remove all programs at 2200 when they go home so that the 2 schmucks on the mid get slammed til 0200

 

[Papacharlie327]

So what y’all are saying is apply to TMU……I’d rather do that shit than be stuck on 6 day work weeks for multiple years.
