It's about time some ATC's realised they're not a subsection of the CFMEU.
Any controller that doesn't put in his best, each shift, each day etc etc is not deserving of the reasonable reward they are receiving for their services.
Apart from your fortnightly paycheck, nobody owes you nothin'. Put your egos behind you and let your unique skills do the talking.
That's what you've been selected and trained to do, over a lot of other people.
The camaraderie between pilots and controllers has diminished over time as our respective employers' strive to create a "safe" and "sterile" flying environment.
The downside is, of course, that we just don't know each other any more.
And for those flying folk waiting to partake in a chop at the Airservices barby -
good luck and fat chance - they can't even put one on for their own people!
Merry Xmas from CG.
