You’ve hit the nail on the head. It sounds exactly like what you’d expect from the aviation industry in this country.
Of those ‘80 ATC promised’ let’s be realistic. 40 will make it to operational training. Maybe 30 will endorse. Half of those will be on the radar sectors / towers that are so desperate for staff. That 15 will not even cover retirements / resignations/natural attrition. The cycle of staffing issues will continue indefinitely.
Or…Airservices could start paying industry standard pay and 2024 conditions and attract the right people…I’ll see myself out.
