IFATCA recommends that MAs establish a specific task force to work with the employer to identify and achieve the required staffing targets for each individual facility. These minimum staffing levels must take into consideration the following:
Human Performance and Fatigue Excessive (no planned overtime shall be used).
Minimum staffing number considers only current credentialed ATCOs- Uncredentialed trainees or disqualified ATCOs shall not be taken into account.
Enough staff to comply with fatigue management policies, so that deviations from the prescriptive limitations regulations for consecutive time in position, work hours in a duty period, and consecutive work days do not occur
Provision for unforeseen circumstances and/or events (excluding staff shortages)
