IFATCA strongly 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.
Staff for normal operations including proper staff relief and provision for unforeseen circumstances and/or events.
