Will somebody please explain to me just why we need the ORO to do a job that was arguably more competently done by the ATCOs and ATSAs on each watch using nothing more expensive than a sheet of squared paper, a "B" pencil and an eraser?
Okay the rostering durring OCT was slightly more difficult, but that's finished now. Why not DISBAND the ORO and return rostering (ALL OF IT) to the respective watches.
Not only would it improve morale ten fold amongst the operational (money earning) staff, it would also
SAVE A LOT OF MONEY. In a company that is allegedly hard up for cash this should be a good enough reason in itself.
Ooops... there I go thinking the unthinkable.
