advice from the civilair site is that AsA withdraw their application this morning.
don't know the reason for sure, but I would guess that the "evidence" of anonymous notes was not a sound basis for their claim.
As someone on the union web site suggested, if we had the equivalent of AsA's spin department, we could claim that "Airservices admits ATCs aren't engaged in industrial action".
But we already knew that.
As has been said repeatedly, one day (hopefully soon) AsA will realise that cutting back the training capability/capacity, and removing 107 controllers from seperating aircraft, was always going to have an effect.
