AnSA, as I'm sure you already know,
the reason most management "rewards and appreciates Powerpoint producing, e-mail forwarding oxygen thieves" is because that's what most of their own job entails, ergo it must be valuable
the fact that ATCO's move the traffic and collect the Avcharges that makes most of the money for AsA seems to be entirely lost on them.
but it's all about them trying to get us to do more and more and more for less and less. Example, we enabled NAS, Alphabet airspace, ALOFT, RVSM etc to work [more or less, in some cases] but these were never recognised at the subsequent EBA because they were "past history" by then, and ATC'ers were supposed to offer more initiatives if we wanted a token payrise.
And now we're somehow supposed to cross-train to enable SDE, the benefits of which are still to be explained precisely, when we have no staff, and no training resources......
