Whilst you may initially be right, the situation would change with time as the founding controllers start to retire but still have ownership and expect an income. The only way it could work as described is as a co-operative. Personal opinion is that in a situation like this a co-operative could not survive for many reasons one example would be that the most highly trained would expect the biggest cut so the subject of who gets training and hence the ability to demand a bigger slice of the pie, would become a very divisive issue.

Anyone remember Telecom (telstra) before Optus came along?? I do.
Yes they became more streamlined, they became more efficient, they even became more profitable. but would you want the level of customer service they now provide. Just imagine voice recognition software putting you through to the controller or service you require. "dial 1 for airways clearance". The problem is that service costs money, accept that fact and move forward instead of this constant shuffle towards the edge of the precipice.
If the service was moved to india because staff is cheaper there as with call centres everybody would be appalled. Yet here in Perth we accept that it is cheaper to run our skies from Melbourne. So where would the problem be in running these services from places like India.
Dick Do you think I am on to a winner here?
