All pilots, notice: When reading Nautilus Blue's and other ATC's posts bear in mind that ASA is not managed by ATC's.
First of all they will not understand NB's solutions so they will be summarily dismissed. There is a fundamental lack of understanding at the top of the organisation of what ATC is, what it is there for and the consequences of getting it wrong. There is evidence on record of this lack of understanding.
Second of all there is a culture of hate and jealousy toward ATC's in 'hate castle' in Canberra. Virtually all of ASA 's problems could be solved in the short to mid term with consultation with it's employees. But no, they know best.
Thirdly and most concerning, there is a culture of management being told what they want to hear by lower level managers who know their jobs are at risk if they don't comply.
