Baileys,
The staff shortage is still there. Airservices is no longer releasing NOTAMs for many occurences due "staff shortage" or "staff availability" in situations when prior to the CA they did. This seems to be a concerted effort on their part. Civil Air members are recording as best they can instances when this is happening.
This includes when there are not enough controllers on shift, when the airspace is not technically closed, but the controller is absent from the console leaving someone (anyone) non-rated to supervise the console for up to 20 minutes on what is called the "short break procedure". It is akin to a pilot being able to leave the cockpit and leave a non-rated pilot, a cabin crew member or airline manager in the cockpit so long as they don't touch anything and call in the pilot if something happens. This is occuring because there are not enough staff on hand to provide for proper breaks. The industry is not told about when this procedure is taking place. There is no data because Airservices does not notify industry the way it used to.
Baileys, you have been told on this forum that the resources to manage and update the data has been subject to volunteer work - something that has not been sustainable for the long term. With the new CA just coming in now, Association delgates and staff are up to their eyeballs in countering/querying management interpretations of the agreement through the use of very fatiguing rosters and other matters. They can't be everywhere at once.
The staff shortage is also affecting Airservices' ability to train new staff. New trainees in the Academy have had 1 instructor per 2 trainees. During a sim, the instructor can only concentrate on one trainee at a time (generally on the high sector and the low sector (Class G/E) gets unobserved), and the only time there is one on one is during a final check run whereby any of the systematic mistakes that have been missed throughout training get picked up with the possibility of failure for the trainee.
Baileys, if you are saying there is no staff shortage, then ask a controller when was the last time they received simulator refresher training for in-flight emergency response, or radar/computer system failure. It is due to the staff shortage that this hasn't happen for years.
To put this back on topic - any airspace changes like G to E are going to involve planning/projects/training that ASA cannot do right now because it's trying to keep its head above water simply providing "business continuity".
