It makes you wonder if or when someone is going to ask him the right questions. Reading his own words, he states there was no "industrial action"/wage negotiation in 2006/2007, yet he says there WERE AIRSPACE CLOSURES in that period. So what were those airpsace closures due to? How can a supposedly well-run, first world ANS provider have ANY airspace closures? If the increasing number of airpsace closures is due to industrial action, why isn't ASA in court? That alone would have to be a massive management failure. If there is unprotected industrial action happening, what is TFN doing to stop it?

It just seems pretty obvious that if airspace closures began happening when the CEO admits there was no industrial campaign, and those closures are increasing, then the reason for them happening in the first place (a lack of staff) is increasing (probably via attrition)- or is that TOO OBVIOUS?

This is "Sunbeam" and Chainsaw Al for any MBA-types, and "NASA" for the safety conscious

Someone else mentioned that the CEO must be smarting and on his last legs when he is lashing out like a desperado. Even CASA can't pretend it isnt happening once the coiled-spring that is ICAO is noticing.
