Until now it was our USA cousins that were master of desinformation. Seems the Irish IAA ( and FR) has learned how to win a media battle as well.
This is where they will get us, via the media ( same for the spanish controllers salaries ). Their dreams is to put us back 30 years where we , controllers , were paid the same as the secretaries of the Ops department.
Now they even manage to get the pilots communauty against us with our controllers "outrageaous salaries " ! Think a bit further before typying.
For the managers, controllers and pilots are the same, we are all just the workers.
They will try to get pilots in the outraged bandwagon to reduce controllers salaries and benefits , and when that is done , you'll be next .
The aim today everywhere is to reduce costs, and make sure those on top keep on the biggest share of the pie.
Controllers first, pilots next, mark my words.
