yep,
many people remember the pink elephants, purple camels and frogs jumping in trees.
Shame they can't remember the (sometimes) pertinent point that was trying to be made.
If there is a trend that is causing a problem, tell us. It doesn't need dressing up in strange coloured animals. ATCOs acually like to get messages straight without any bull. If HF/HR tried that tactic, then the actual message may be received more readily.
As for the infringer spotter - a complete CYA exercise by management on the back of one incident. It isn't even manned on a busy, sunny friday afternoon - a time when lots of GA get airborne
. It really is just being done in order for management to turn round to their bosses and say "look at what we are doing". It's quite telling that the watch supervisors think it's boll*cks.
Meanwhile we'll bring in procedures without checking the safety implication or the actual (not perceived) benefits. Even when the experts (the people doing the sectors) give valid arguments against the implementation.
All that people in this company seem to want to do nowadays is to be seen to be doing something. A case of trying to protect their job perhaps?
