Was it you who made the comment about going downhill after the "tactical focus" was generated by 41/44Wg? Love it
Yes, but alas I'm not Dr Wernher von Braun reincarnated. It was pretty darn obvious that the core skills of
separating in a
safe, orderly and expeditious manner were going to get a back seat.
but I wonder if ASA have the staff capacity to do so (given the supposed shortage that ASA also have).
If we closed SATC (two ATC schools operate currently - duplication); All went to TAAATS (two ATC systems - duplication of support staff and compatibility); and, moved Darwin, Tindal, Townsville and Willy APP to BN centre, and Nowra and East Sale to ML Centre (as civs all and sundry) it may be viable and the staff continuity and stability will pay off in a few years (think of the supervisor duplication at all those units).
Question
scran...when you got promoted in the early 90s how many WGCDR slots were there (and there was 1 GPCAPT) then? How many WGCDRs and GPCAPTs now (post 44/41WG and 'going green')?
