At the end of the day nothing will be solved at this level.
Whilst the odd manager may read it and have a giggle at the power they have to make life difficult for operatives and operators alike, it will take the company's to formally complain before anything will ever get done.
The reality is with
(1) An
Open Skies Policy (note here please Emirates Operators that this means ANYBODY can come here and is afforded the same priority!!!!!!);
(2)
Works In Progress that should have occurred 10 years ago when we decided to make this the hub of the world;
(3)
Antiquated equipment;
(4)
Understaffing;
(5)
Outdated and Dangerous Procedures;
(6)
No Slot Times
(7)
Limited or No Dialog with adjacent units or sectors;
(8)
Independant Agenda's within the UAE States
(9)
Non Compatability of Radars and Associated Equipment in our own Emirates; and importantly....
(7)
No Industry Goodwill
..........we are destined to bleat at each other on PPrune and cry into our keyboards for a long time to come (as the England soccer fans are probably doing in public as we speak
)
Sorry team, but there is no answer to this in the short term.
Smile, wave and log onto your offshore accounts and think of your next holiday. Welcome to the Middle East.
