Everyone likes (positive) feedback so…

Let me pass on a big thanks to everyone who has helped from D&D.
D&D had requested more calls to help check equipment, and also help with their controller training and currency. They are particulary pleased with the results so far – for example, the average number of practice pans and training fixes in a MONTH is 150. On just the Monday-Friday of that first full week (ie: not even the weekend when more fly), they got 124 calls. And practical consequences? Well as long as various technical things, on the Tuesday, they had a controller who was being ‘validated’ for the role. Normally this takes them between 3 and 5 hours. It was all over in only 2 hours, because of the number of training fixes in that period.

So thanks to everyone who has already tried it, BUT remember this wasn’t a one week wonder, they do need them all the time, so keep them coming when you have a minute. I’ve told them also if they can pre-notify a validation (to a particular day), I’m sure enough pilots would make an extra effort then.
