You seek the truth

We need more staff
There is no quick fix for this situation. We know this. But if we do nothing we'll be in the same situation next year. The recent recruitment drive was totally inadequate.
It is only because of our recent action that the issue is even being talked about.
Controllers did not create this situation, but they are trying to solve it.
We know we will have to continue to work overtime to plug the dam, but we want an overtime scheme that is structured and safe. A scheme where overtime hours are regulated and limited, so that both the controller and customer are protected. At the moment it's a total free for all.
We want to create a staffing situation were minimum overtime is required.
I know things have been rough for us in the media. But you came here because you knew there must be another side to the story. I thank you for that.
