Some photos from my 12 hour shift at Heathrow.
Respect for this man for handling Heathrow for 12 hours. In that time you could do so many things. But he decided to control Heathrow on training. Respect.
Itâs not all lost. I can now say âyou werenât cleared for takeoff please exit the runwayâ in a second, and I know where that button is in a split second đ thanks for the kind words.
My deepest respect. And most importantly youâre alive, and hopefully in mentally stable condition :)
If you could handle all the stress of controlling Heathrow and more in Training Server, where there is no person who does anything with trolls, you should consider joining the IFATC teamâŠ
I hope youâre still alive, mentally, after that madness.
Bro I need your patience, I canât control LHR on ES and not loose brain feels and contemplate reporting everybody just because they donât like theyâre assigned runway đ, give this man a medal
Press F for respect, đȘ
I can apply on the 4th of September. I may apply for IFATC. The ATC was easy, the staying up was challenging.
Congrats hope your mental wellbeing still exists lol
After 6hrs. Then 12hrs.pls do 24hrsđ
EGLL on ES is killing me enough, TS?? how did you do it, are you ok?
I wouldnât survive a 12 hour ATC shift even if I had toothpicks to keep my eyes open like Mr. Bean
I believe 12 is the max. If itâs not you know exactly what Iâm doing.
It was very tiring. I did it at night and Iâm in the UK, it meant there wasnât much traffic later on. This meant I didnât have anything to do. And I kept fading in and out of sleep every 20 seconds. I did make it eventually! Luckily. Once I woke up I didnât remember anything until about 3am ish. So I mightâve gone to hell and back but I donât remember. Lucky međ„ł!
As others mentioned before: this was a tough ride. Great you did it well. But always keep in mind: its just a game and health is always over fame. Keep it in mind :). See you soon on IFATC.
The hardest choices require the strongest wills
@WillBA did you get screenshot of me departing?? Tell me you did lol
Im wondering that myself! Im sure hes ok. :)
