Whats your agenda here Carlos?
Service unavailability would probably have to do with the fact that the tower roster has relied on about 3 people doing overtime a day for the last 18 months. Are you expecting people to be slaves to the organisation and come in on their days off during the holiday season where people with families would rather spend time at home with their families?
If you want someone to blame, look squarely at management. This sort of short staffing will get worse (and potentially far worse) before it gets better. Tower simply has not been training enough people to cope with attrition, and to add to that lots of potentially amazing opportunities are opening up all over the world (cough Hong Kong) that are offering better pay, better conditions and an experience that Sydney just cannot offer. Combine that with ASA no longer taking international recruits because of government policy, and the extremely high failure rate of the college (a few adds in seek wont help) and you have a stick of dynamite ready to go off. Overtime lengthens the fuse, but how long can you honestly expect someone to work with only a 1 day break. A man isnt a machine, people need down time.
