I hope that the controllers get some joy soon.
I just hope it is not the organization setting you up for another situation like the pilot strike under the hawke era. Destroying your collective to formulate your eba. Just starting to smell a bit like that situation.
I once applied for an air services Australia trainee ATC Job. I was put on a 12 months eligibilty list. Was prepared to go anywhere in aus. In some ways glad i didn't get offered the guernsey would have been tough to make the decision between the job i was working at the time back to a wage that was a quarter of what i was earning at the time. To hear all this going on just makes me thankful. However it does sound very similar to stuff at my current workplace. 2 concurrent enquiries from the government into this organisation still hasn't achieved any real change in the problems.
Thank you for doing a good job and I appreciate the help and the professional manner that collectively i have recieved as I have been flying around.
