The point of the post was aimed at NATS, and the complete reversal of any kind of coherent professional-standard policy towards controller/aircrew liaison and aircraft performance appreciation in the interest of enhancing service provision. There is money in abundance for any kind of management training, and plenty of time off.......even when there was a Fam Flight scheme the controller had to do it on a day off and cover most of the cost.
By the way......the nightmare to come is the much-heralded i-Facts system...absolutely £millions being spent for no benefit at all.....what do I know?......well I correctly forecast 5 major operational-use problems with the current Swanwick system about 6 years before it went live.....and every one happened!
I tried to look up the AAIB report reference yesterday.......however it was a Bank Holiday and the Swanwick Library was shut......another example of contempt for the worker......we work 24/7.....168 hours a week.....our library is available 35 hours a week at times when we are so busy that no-one can use it anyway......except non-operational staff......you see we may pinch a copy of something if it is left unlocked!!!!!!
