DNC rightly returns this thread to it's topic. The CA is pretty much done now - some good increases in Salary & Cond's where Civil Air argued successfully they are needed the most - entry & intermediate level to recruit and retain people.
But this does not, and will not, solve the immense staffing problems anytime soon.
And the phoney excuse of blaming controllers for a non-existent industrial campaign by a few bonus driven executives, and some complicit and ignorant political ideologues has just dissappeared. But the airspace closures have not, and will not for some time.
Perhaps the management of QF,
VB etc. who seemed to have played along with the charade will now be asking why the SY PRM shifts still can not be staffed, and why the consequent cumulative delays during periods of low cloud and vis? Why the ground delays for sectors that can not fully staff their positions in the middle of the day? Why the promises of full staffing by Aug 08 have not happened? Will we see Sen McGuaran now lambasting those who are really to blame they way he threw punches at the Air Traffic Controllers from behind the protected comfy seats of Senate Estimates?
