what has lead to this
ATNS has itself to blame for being in this situation and is now trying to play their last card.why? just take a look at the pass and failure rate of the last 5 years at the academy.most of the Assistant and Aerodrome courses had a failure rate of more than 50% which leaves us with no-one to train to replace the hordes leaving to play amongst the sand dunes.
but thats all well..because us at the smaller stations will comply with the daily flow control message from joburg:all departures to joburg tma to be seperated by ten minutes or more due to sectors being combined because of lack of staff.so what they gonna do during world cup? how they gonna implement flow control to europe and african states while keeping local airlines happy?
