taking the airspace has definitely attributed to the staffing problems....its like buying a lot of land and building houses on it with no roads, or services....the iaa should have seen this coming for years. They are, in effect, becoming a little bit of a shambles!!! If your really interested in joining the iaa, negotiate ANY type of contract....get it in writing and then negotiate again.....They are very very short and we need controllers....Any one from the iaa here from the top....listen up.....
