Lets get this straight.... 2000 days overtime paid at double time= 4000 days salary. That would pay the wages of 11 full time controllers and no one in management seems to think there's a problem with that.
in 2001 Bill Prafiska (the Aviation Regulator at the time) wanted the Iaa to increase terminal charges to about €3.20 (currently€2.25) and charge for every mile flown not just the last 20 as is current practice. The IAA refused claiming that it would hurt small local airlines such as RYR REA and EIN.
Since then RYR and EIN have been posting good profits and REA recoup part of thier costs from the EU.
In short, the current business strategy of the IAA is to refuse to increase charges to profitable service users when sanctioned by the regulator
and pay the salaries of 11 non existent controllers.
Could you imagine the carnage if IAA controllers were as incompetent as IAA managers!!!!!
