ATC are currently in a position where ASA have a directive that non-endorsed controllers are allowed to give short-term breaks at consoles.
This seems to breach a number of the CARs, CASA are taking weeks to answer and then only saying that they are referring it to ASA.
All we are asking is for CASA to say it is okay and legal when applied against the regulations.All we get is buck passing and stalling.
Either the procedure is legal and the controller is absolved from blame if anything happens, or it is against the regs and the directive needs to be amended.
