As many have been saying we don't have the staff.
USA has 10-11000 controllers, they need about 13000.
Australia has less than 800 actually working traffic, and diminishing.
Our sectors are, comparable to the USA, very large.
At this stage with our critical staffing, and large sector sizes, we cannot do what Dick, mjbow and co. would like.
This is not so much resistance to change but just a stark fact.
Based on the resources available, what you have at the moment is what can be supplied. This type of discussion was done to death months ago. The upshot of that was what will probably occur here.
Controllers will continue to tell you that what you want will cost ALOT of money. You will tell us that we are resistant to change and unwilling to provide a service that can 'easily be done' and won't cost anything.
Eventually you will concede that okay it will cost money is not as easy as first thought and a few months later it will all start up again.
As I said months ago, give us the staff and resources and I am happy to do whatever the INDUSTRY wants. Controllers are about safety.
