At least one production team in RTE have their ear to the ground!
A very interesting interview where LK publicly states that "admittedly overtime is voluntary" - at last they have actually admitted that. It must have nearly killed him to say it tho'!
Fair play to the RTE guy for asking the questions like:
"one controller is sick and all this happens,surely this is no way to run an aviation authority" Exactly what we have been saying.
"the IAA have gone to sleep for the past 5 years" Seems that way but its probably unfair to sleepers as sleeping is passive ,while the decisions that led to this debacle were not only actively taken, but the people who took them were probably conscious at the time
"What are you going to do about it" Yeah what are you going to do about it. Guess we will find out on the 19th when they have now publicly said that they will engage with us. I really look forward to that because they haven't engaged yet.
Yours as ever
