Well on Expert server there are featured airports for each day so only about 4-6 airports are open for those days. But on Training Server there are no featured airports and controllers can control where they please. Also anybody can control on Training server versus group of people being able to control on Expert.
Hope this helps

On expert, everyday there is a ATC schedule and region that are controlled by IFATC. Around 5-6 airports are featured daily, and more can be opened in the selected reigon.
Example schedule:

Training server typically have more staffed airports; ATCs practicing their controlling skills. But you donāt know which airports are staffed and for how long, apart from the ones opened via an ATC Tracking Thread.
On Expert we only have so many certified controllers, so the number of airports staffed are typicall less than on Training Server. To ensure some level of predictability on the airportās that are staffed, we created the ATC schedule, as shown in Lukeās post.
See you on Expert - donāt forget to familiarize yourself with the rules! š

If you always want to fly from LAX to somewhere or JFK to EGLL, TS is the place to go. You may have 4 ground controllers during taxi and 3 tower controllers while in line at the runway, but theyāll be open.
On Expert, we prefer to use global for more than three airports, so just look at the schedule, which is pinned every week (this weekās is above).
Just donāt ask if there will be an IFATC member at ICAO at YYYY Zulu for your specific flightā¦gets asked every week (day?). We donāt know.
But you can pretty much count on EGLL being open on Training at all times, under various levels of ATC ācontrolā.
