The biggest issue here is...
not the name- rose by any other name is still a rose
maybe the downgrading of the ATC profession -How can a radio operator's license be equal to that of an ATC licence? Flight info service stations are just relaying stations for ATC-Pilot messages.
But The real issue here is SAFETY. How can an FSIS personnel be able to control traffic? I know for a fact that most of the personnel in these communication facilities flunked their atc subjects and does not qualify to be ATCs. Now you tell me, they'll be doing ATC work as well? VERY DANGEROUS!
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines should rethink this through.
