It's like nobody wants to be the first to blink.
I think AsA are running the catchphrase "These Are Not the Droids You Are Looking For" and CASA are falling for it.
Hopefully the ATCs working at reduced capacity due operational restrictions (short staffing) in the 'STRADDY A', 'STRADDY B', 'FLINDERS', 'LORD HOWE' and 'OCEAN/SYDNEY CAP' sector volumes weren't overloaded by the extra traffic flying the contingency routes. And if they were overloaded, pressured to accept additional traffic that they submitted a CAIR. I guess we'll only know in a 6 or 7 months time when a CAIR (or 15 consolidated in 1) gets published.
