The facts, as released:
1. SAS vs KLM
2. FL340 close to SVA (Svensheia) VOR/DME, which is in Sector West at Oslo ATCC
3. Planner is not used at Oslo, at any enroute sectors, due to lack of personell. Stavanger ATCC has started to use planners, but due to lack of personell, they might have to go back to only ATSAs.
4. STCA might have malfunctioned. (According to Avinor)
Ahh, and yes.....
.....all but one of Norways 22 ATC units are short of controllers. Some
very short. I only got 3 of 5 weeks holiday last year, and that's normal.
Good thing: We have managed to oust the old Avinor management (the one that startet a crazy cost cutting program 3 years ago) Things are looking better, but the staffing situation is going to get worse before it gets better. They stopped traning in 2003, next class to reach production is january 2008 (est)
Work in Norway anyone?
