There is no doubt the current offer is a good deal... but one must ask why the turnaround? I know I am probably in that paranoid category... but come on... they spend millions of dollars on a team of "experts" to negotiate the CA only for TFN and the union to come up with a deal at the last minute... months overdue... achieving nothing that Airservices was after... but no one gets the sack???!!
WTF???
All I can say is that TFN may not be an astute CEO but he seems to be well versed in kissing someones behind.
As for the staffing shortages... yes they shall continue - but with Civil Air playing nice and no one drawing attention to the issue at least Airservices should be able to achieve some "productivity improvement" by sacking some of the Public Affairs team.
