I don't get it.....
Could anyone please tell me if the following reply at the bottom of the post on Crikey is serious or sarcastic? I really am not sure how to take it. Honestly, I can't seem to sort it out. I really hope it is sarcastic though, then the reply would make sense.
"dnsmax": Is that you direct.no.speed? Please PM me.

Cmon Ben,
Everyone knows that Airservices is not short of controllers. The CEO has said so on many occassions. Hell, there is a whole bunch of press releases going back years calling the controller renegades. If they were short they would have taken the controllers union to Fair Work Australia to ensure that they work overtime and threaten them if they could not provide a reason why they forfeited a day off. Hell, if they were short, controllers would be called 2,3 even four times a day on their days off to come to work. Controllers would probably even be turning off their phones. And Airservices is involved in a massive restructure of the airspace requiring huge amounts of training for unknown gain – this simply could not happen if Airservices were short of controllers.
I don’t know where you get your information from Ben. Cmon! Airservices are definitely not short of controllers.
