Hey Fab,
Try getting a refund from the ar!eclowns for shutting the airspace down, that would be like getting a refund from the city link thieves in Melbourne for closing the tunnel for maintenance etc. A road that you already own through paying 48.5% tax, 50% fuel tax (sorry it's an excise, not a tax) rego and insurance fees, 10% GST..........The aim of airservices is to turf (privatise) the un-profitable (TMA's and Towers) and keep their cash cow, en-route, they love en-route, makes squillions...... but then again it's an airspace structure that you already own through paying 48.5% tax.............
Try sitting at a console when you're short of staff and you tell one of these idiots up the front to put a notam out saying there may be delays. (just in case, mind you they may not occur) It's just game playing. 'We can't have the industry thinking we aren't efficient' While monitoring the state of their budget for when it comes bonus time. While also inventing projects and mindless re-sectorisation of airspace to also boost their bonus.
There's only a couple of these di#kheads, most of them work pretty hard and have their staff and the industry in mind when making decisions.
