how true! Me wonders if the clear allegations made by IFACTA in their statement, if confirmed, will prompt any reviews and possible changes in the ATC systems HMI in other parts of the world too (I tend to believe there will be some at least in Brasil, unless proven wrong... it's called blood response).
I keep hearing from friends ATCOs about the issues they face on a daily basis, and little to nothing is done to remediate the situation.
Is this due to the military legacy in the ATC business worldwide? Once upon a time (?), the lower ranks in front of the screens were commanded to do their job, and keep their mouth shut. Could it be that now ANSPs could finally put their military legacy behind their back and invest in their people with more qualification and motivation, and hopefully the possibility to give constructive feedback to the equipment vendor?
