Many of Australia's finest and brightest ATC's would head overseas!
Many of us have already jumped; many manning the lifeboats as we speak.

As for 75 people leaving (10%); very unlikely but more likely now than compared to 3 years ago... As for the 10% savings by removing ALMs; my guess is it won't happen, some may go, but only to be 'reassigned' to the boards; many probably would accept the "demotion" with a smile. Additionally the queue for VR would be a mile long; job swap to a redundant position etc.

I wouldn't have even considered moving OS just a very short 12 months ago; now I can't even see myself coming back; well not to ATC in Oz anyway... My better half, who hasn't posted on this thread (by the way), probably wants to come back sooner rather than later; she doesn't want me working for ASA again...

Maybe things will change in the post TFN era, but I suspect there are enough sycophant managers (that will still be there) that have the likes of me in the "no way basket".
