Always ask yourself the question when a proposal comes along like this - Who proposed it and why?
****su ... if you don't take your head out of the sand soon, I think you'll be in for a very rude shock. I also think the days of ATC being bullet proof are long gone. It's happening all around you, but you guys are oblivious to it. The fact is ... there's staff being sacked every day and you lot are going to be left doing all the work.
I remember one of your collegues on these boards some months ago was, let's say, somewhat less than sympathetic about non-ATC staff being shown the door. Well, the chickens are coming home to roost. If you don't like it, you better act fast!
As to where did the proposal come from ? try, ex-ATC Managers who believe that AUSFIC do nothing and that we would all be better off without them ... a bit like 1991/92!!
