In Australia, the control tower at the only airport in the capital city is NOTAMed closed so that the controller can go to the toilet and have a leg stretch.
That is pretty mental. Meanwhile, there will be 100+ Air Services ‘executives’ collecting more dough than the controller to work flexi lines from home sending important t emails about carbon footprint reduction and letterhead fonts.The % of the workforce that ‘manages’ the people who produce something of value has become so large that the revenue created eats itself paying them and we can’t afford the actual workers!
