I can't wait to hear your opinion about URET and non-radar operations.

It sounds like at least initially we're going to keep strips in the
non-radar sectors. I guess eventually they'll go URET, but it will
take longer to implement.


The other fun thing about URET coming here is that they're saying
because the training department is "ahead of schedule", then my
training is not being delayed, therefore no back-pay. Whatever.


At least out there at ZDV you will probably get checked out in normal time
once you get started.

We'll see. It depends how much time they spend training. Training
pretty much stops during our "ski country" which is basically
December-March. It doesn't sound as bad as ZTL, but my area tends to
be slower to check people out than even all the other areas at ZDV,
and it's not due to devs using more hours, they still use the same,
but it's due to taking longer to get those hours (at least that's what
I've been told, including a threat to take me out of my area, which I
hope is a dead issue because I love my area).


We
don't have enough staffing to consistently train people, and we don't have
enough staffing because we can't get people trained.

Yep, sounds like here.
Fortunately we have one sup that is really into training, and whenever
he has the desk he finds a way to get training done, no matter what
manipulating he has to do. He can't do much else but he can get
training accomplished. That's why his side of the week does better
than the other.
