Version 12 just got rolled back off the Simulator (proving ground) in Brisbane tonight. Version 5.2 put back on. Man on the ground you're probably right.
Saw a comic strip somewhere saying that if everyone is doing 'Worlds Best Practice' doesn't that mean the same as mediocre.
Also, re- the Super Centre, got advice today that the BN and ML centres, for most people , are permanent appointments. Redundancy provisions would be triggered if they wanted to move to one centre. I'll bet they haven't even twigged to that yet. If it went to CB, BN and ML would all be entitled.
Apparently the Panic Button is being belted in meetings today as the implications of the expiration of Facilitative Arrangements are starting to dawn on the bureaucrats. You can't whittle your staff down to the bone and continue to gnaw.
We have tried to get this lot to realise that what they are doing is unsustainable for over 5 years. People are leaving and still they persist in fudging with figures. They just never cottoned on that we care more than they do about a safe sustainable ATC system, that we have been doing CPR on this nearly drowned body, and that we can't keep it up.
It will take years to recover, and they act like it will all be fixed next week
