We have the benefit of the wisdom of Australian property developer, Tim Gurner, to explain what's going on with the ATC shortage:- We need to remind ATCers that they work for Airservices, not the other way around.
- There's been a systematic change where ATCers feel Airservices is extremely lucky to have them as opposed to the other way around. So it's a dynamic that has to change. Airservices has got to kill that attitude and that has to come through hurting the ATCers and air travellers.
- We need to see ATCer unemployment rise, ATCer unemployment has to jump 40, 50 per cent.
Hopefully Mr Gurner will get a gig as Qantas COO.
