The problem is, the management attitute is that these events, and indeed lesser ones such as shortages due to minimum cover, happen so 'rarely' that it is an 'acceptable risk' which does not warrant keeping enough ATSAs to cover them.

It seems that it is cheaper to pay the fines to operators when delays are caused than paying for ATSAs
