Sorry for the confusion people - my comments were directed at the ASA negotiating team. Like I said in my post... there is no doubt (in my mind at least) that the result that we have now is a good one and I think that Civil Air has done a great job in being professional. I guess I am just annoyed that ASA dragged its feet for so long, abused ATCs in the media, made promises that they haven't kept (August promise) and still they will continue to get their bonuses and awards.
The staffing shortage is going to get worse - with the training college is disarray we will be in a very bad place in a years time. I just wish that the Exec & Board would stand up and start taking some accountability.
