How many controllers (on average) where on the payroll between Jan 06 and Oct 07.

How many controllers (on average) are currently on the payroll?
Are you talking tin pushing/talking on the radio controllers? Or googling/talking sh*t with no traffic endorsement controllers?

You'll find a large number of radio using/tin pushing types gave up that aspect of the job (and their traffic endorsements) in the 2nd half of 2007 when they signed their AWAs and became an extra tier of management (well we need more managers in Aussie Aviation)...add to that the retirements and new Aussies in Ireland, Germany and Dubai and lets say well over a 100 (not 18).

And our recruitment?


This is bouncing around my head all day...
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, ooh I try, how can I carry on?
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S.O.S.
Stop it! Agghhhhhhhhhhh!
