I suppose this could just as easily have said 'Controller caught in Traffic" or "Controller was sick".
But I expect the usual suspects to have a go here shortly.
What I am really interested to know from the
PR Machine is what a 'Senior Controller' is? And I would also like to know did they really mean they will have 2 controllers in the tower at all times? That will come as a great surprise to the many single person operations throughout Australia! Oh well, never let the facts get in the way of some good spin!
