Quit yer complainin'!
« on: August 24, 2016, 06:22:41 PM »
Some of our facilities require 1, 2, or in some cases 3 hours per month to maintain currency and stay on the active ATC roster.  Take a peek at one of our European vACCs requires.....

Quote
ATCO Licence

Controllers have to be online as ATCO for at least 20 hours within a month in order to remain as an active controller in VACC Estonia. If a controller does not meet this condition, his licence will be cancelled.

I wonder how long their 9 controllers will last....  Oy!

I saw some of that thread (if it's the one I'm thinking about), I find it surprising that they even have ANY controllers with a "license" lol.
