this idea of renegade controllers is pure BS.

I think Greg Russell is trying to manufacture a scapegoat. As numerous people have pointed out - if there were "renegades" surely this would have been identified, and harsh examples made of.

the allegory to all this is the story of an empire/dictatorship VS the rebels.

The general populace is punished because they are suspected of harbouring rebels, and pretty soon, if there were no rebels there before, there are now.

Don't fall for the trap. don't become a renegade because TFN wants a public scapegoat. it is mismanagement (training) and neglect (less than competive wages) that have led to the staffing problem, along with a stubborn persistence in projects (ALMS, SDE = less qualified controllers available) that have led to the "service interruptions". Nothing else.
