AsA doesn't have enough controllers. Large chunks of en-route airspace now either TIBA or "expect delays due operational constraints". If AsA say there's no staffing problems that's just PR spin.

The cause is the same as the rest of the industry. Management cutting resources to the bone and when things get busy they don't have the staff needed.

Is it no surprise two other top threads on this forum at the moment are about ATC inadequacies and problems?
