I have a good idea and it's not the AsA annual report.
Thats right. It is not the annual report. It is from the Airservices commisioned study comparing us to Eurocontrol and the yanks. The figure was more like 2.2 to 1 but I just rounded it down. You can do a search here and find a net link for it but I am sure a hrad copy is easy to come by for you. Page 2 of this thread refers

From the 2003/2004 report there are 999 ATCs and 1954 non ATCs. Sorry, a touch under 2 to 1. I find it most interesting that there are 324 senior managers and only 368 Clerical/ Admin types. Absolutely disgraceful. Hang your head in shame. What the f%%k do 324 odd seniors manage? Seriously?

We did a carpark count on a Monday v a Weekend last month (not me but some other readers here) and the numbers were more like 3 to 1 cars difference.
Your figures are a little behind. There are actually less than 1000 ATCs these days. Airwars Data Systems Officers saw the death of IRDS/That green **** in ML and there woud be maybe 8 of them in Brisbane and I expect the same in ML.16, perhaps in total and they are now called Flight Data Corrections Officers.
I am getting a package shipped up from Melbourne. Do you think you could organise one of your couriers to do so? Or are they the World's Worst?
