Blastoid ..... Thanks for your informative posts. When I started this thread, I was really pissed off. Your (and the other ATCers) posts have helped shed some light on what you have to deal with control room. I have come to realise that your job job really sucks! To have management hang this over your head would really
me off!
So.... whats the answer? Are we never going to see any more direct tracking for the rest of our aviation career? Is this permanent management directive or will it be reviewed after a period of time? It seems that both pilots and controllers alike, believe that the directive wont make things any safer.
After all.... pilots can be flying the PLN RTE and still forget to call after the transfer. Stuff ups by both aircrew and controllers will continue to happen, therefore i will be very surprised if after 12 months of no DCT tracking there are any less incidents. Then again they just introduced NAS....
