... with associated high levels of traffic including some military and GA, and higher risk to operations with complex airspace boundaries, lack of controllers, variable weather and proximity to Sydney, I would very much prefer to be controlled in CTA into and out of Newcastle. On this one I am with Dick...it is a national disgrace akin to third world ops that more and more risk be placed on the aircrew shoulders because AirnonServices and the ADF have failed to strategically plan their human resources and/or pay them appropriately.
