I'll be working my FIRST series of midnight shifts this week at MEM for the purpose of training on Ground Control. Three midnight shifts this week, followed by three more next week.
My Supervisor, Trainer and all of my team members have assured me that my head will be handed to me on a platter this evening due to the volume and complexity of the FDX inbound and outbound traffic.
There is a dedicated midnight crew assigned to the midnight shift at MEM, so whenever a newbie is sent to the mid for training, we are essentially treated like red-headed-step-children. The local procedures are different from the normal day/evening operation; the routes in/out of our airspace change slightly; and there are many other changes to our local operation.
Keep your head on a swivel tonight!
I'll do my best not to delay you too much.
