Takeonme,
There is no new CA. AsA have offered nothing and are not even ready to proceed with negotiations.
To the rest of the controllers asking questions here, why not get on the civilair website and check it out for yourselves, FFS. All your questions, opinions and thoughts have been voiced there.
Plazbot, AsA have absolutely no interest in introducing a regulatory framework for hours worked. Try the other extreme - they will do everything this time around to have POR's removed and work solely on FAID.
CASA are the ones who need to introduce that sort of arrangement and their theory of "Outcome based legislation" (see p58 May/June Flight Safety) is just another way for them to sit on their hands and do nothing until someone f@rks up. They are a disgrace. CASA essentially says "You tell us what you think you need to do and if it looks ok, we won't argue" ie. open slather for companies to write what they want and word it how they want as long as it looks legally kosher.
