These points are all moot.
Dis te laat, it's too late, c'est trop tard, das ist zu spaet. Get it?
ATNS should have taken their thinking out of their back sides a LOOOOONG time ago but, alas, te dom, too stupid, trop stupide, zu dumm. Und auch zu politisch. We're far more concerned with demographics than we are with actually moving aircraft. An arbitrator at a dispute was told recently that ATNS' core business is in fact NOT air traffic control.
Really? You mean the cake and muffin unit is our bread and butter? Or maybe it's that bastion of efficiency, the department run by Grandmere Somethingwithaclick. I hear they recently moved into their 5th building at the office park / circus grounds. Maybe it should be called Support Staff Job Creation and Navigation Services? Ag nee wat, SSJCNS? Te lomp. Zu Laestig. Too cumbersome
The 2 of us who will still be here when the fiasco kicks off are going to have the best seats to watch the biggest cock up in the history of cock ups.
Isn't it ironic that ATNS is just one little "a" short of satan. Lucky for them they couldn't get an "a" for anything except maybe their collective hole.
Klaar gepraat.
