RAAF ATC Staffing Levels
G'day all,
A little birdie tells me that at the end of last week, somewhere between 15 and 20 RAAF ATCs resigned. Most are headed to other providers. This represents around 10% of the ATC category (my guess). That kind of percentage would hurt any organisation.
I am also lead to believe it is not just disgruntled bograts - people in higher positions are also headed for other (not necessarily greener) pastures.
This week will be a very interesting one for the category. I wonder what band-aid practice the RAAF will implement this time? After all, we can't have blunts being paid more than aircrew now, can we.......?
It looks like ATC shortages worldwide are effecting all providers.
Good luck, whatever side of the fence you are on. SATC - start to ramp up!
Sayonara,
Showa Cho.
