Listen up, Willy HAVE been operating on weekends for months due to traffic.Check the Notams.
Newcastle(Willy RAAF) are no longer Mon-Fri bankers hours with POETS day on Friday. This crowd work hard.
Throw some civvies in there to help them out.
There are a hell of a lot of us (me included) who would be happy to leave the toxic environment of ASA to work part-time down there to facillitate the provision of services outside Willys' core hours.
C-Change you are correct ASA have dropped the ball, they no longer think of themselves as an Air Nav Service Provider but as a business, the dollar is God.
Future prediction- they are moving towards an upper airspace/lower airspace model.
Upper airspace (separation=dollars) lower airspace(traffic statement=no dollars) they will then ask the government (only shareholder) to subsidise the loss making area (regional).
