Yakkity....

Whilst GCAA are the administrators, the current flow control requirements (up to 30 miles every arrival at the busier times) are instigated by Dubai.

Their reasons may or may not be justified as it varies from crew to crew and whether the moon is lined up with Jupiter!

At the end of the day whilst we have independant administrations and everybody running their own programs, outdated equipment, not enough staff and everyone operating from different centres....the shambles will continue.

Given the chance for all the coal face controllers to catch up for a beer, wine or spritzer, solve our differences and then given the opportunity to influence management policy we might get things on the rails.... till then we will just have to put up with things deteoriating on a daily basis...

The good news the regional airlines are all expanding at an unmanageble rate and we should be really excited about that!
