I think 1985 on post 90 covers it really. We live our lives now by risk assessments and the apsa process all feeding in to the safety plan.
Management pay lip service as to how safety is number 1 priority whilst at the same time engineering every way they can to cut corners and save costs. Managers who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. I get what some people are saying about what it was like in their day but in my time within ATC I have seen massive and complete changes, some good and some absolutely abysmal.
The latest wheeze is that scratcoh is just a guide, if you feel ok then why not work 7 days in a row, have a 2 day break then start it all again. My last unit doesn't even have an OR published for staffing numbers.
