If there is one thing I am not worried about, it is the threat of RAAF controllers - the small quantity alone lets me be nice and not have to discuss the quality.
The real threat is a strategy of intentional non-management, as opposed to the previous unintentional mis-management. The former is where real resource issues, which were created by the latter, come to fruition but are addressed by denial and shifting the blame to the coalface.
This is the strategy of the FAA.
Less controllers working more and more overtime with more and more traffic having more incidents. The FAA management response? Blame the controller with a 'the beatings will continue until morale improves' approach.
As we have seen from the very top of government in this country right down - there is no accountability at the top. The blame stops stops squarely at the bottom.
So if your airspace goes TIBA - it must be an air traffic controllers fault for not coming to work on their 1st day off in 10 days.
