When the provider of Air Traffic Control in this country cannot provide services in what would I expect to be their number one priority areas there is a serious problem. A capital city TMA goes TIBA today, 15 International jets are in UNCONTROLLED airspace over the Tasman due to staff shortage at once this week, the same airspace goes down twice more, tonight all control over 1/4 of NSW is not staffed, etc, etc, wait for more.

This is disgraceful. I echo the above that Airservices must do something now. The ball has been in their court since they decided to run best case scenario rosters with absolutely no fat to cover staff illness. This is not some ASO3 position where the paper will keep piling up. Companies expect and deserve services from what is an essential service(wait for this to be dictated come Oct 25 when the ATCs walk out).

No Idea you have AsA hmm........
