'fraid that its just going to get worse and worse.
There are more people heading o/s for better pay/lifestyle/opportunities. With the age profile starting to kick in for approach/tower and a lack of training takeing place due various reasons (including enroute controllers not being released as that would leave the enroute sectors severly short staffed) there is going to be lots of empty shifts across the whole of Aus. People are sick of 9 shifts on 1 off so that the sectors run and lack of acess to rec leave. Thats a big part of the reason I left.
Enjoy the "safe skys" of Aus. If it gets too bad the middle east has lots of jobs for pilots/controllers.
