Initial figures suggest that more than 75% of current staff, or around 1000 years of experience, won’t go. That means the busiest and most complex airspace in Australia, about to get more complex with the introduction of Badgery’s, will be controlled by novices. Yes, they’ll be licensed controllers so it may be safe, but it certainly won’t be efficient. Anyone who thinks this won’t impact on industry in a major way has rocks in their heads. I wonder if Airservices included that in their numbers.
