High Low...I see your points...however to clarify, there is no industrial action. As you can see, its staff shortages that are causing the problems both in Dublin and in Shannon. The IAA haven't recruited any controllers in past number of years and now they seem to think that just because ATCO's are s$%t sick of the place after 5 long days work they can change our roster to suit their staffing problems and blame us for not coming in on our days off to fill in for blank spaces on the shoddy rosters that are in place already. This is supposed to make us look bad...come on....its IAA micromanagement that look bad here. The IAA should be ashamed of themselves for making the controllers look bad for closing Dublin Airport for a couple of hours. They are to blame for all of this...not the ATCO's....Its about time the pilots and paying passengers are made aware of this....
