cheers
agree ,Military is one side of coin. Power,real power .
I haven't seen so far numbers.
if we compare USA and Europe. in atc terms.
Yes 22 vs 42 ACCs. but,
I am not expert for this issues, but I have one question : " is USA ATC system more efficient than European ?
I wouldn't say so. Acft departing JFK inbound SFO vs LHR to Greece???
not to mention, atcos and managers T & C
According to data that I have see and know not too much difference. In money terms
but working hours ,rest periods and so on. Even not close for comparsion.
And belive me ,no one in Europe will accept that american standars horor conditions.
6 days on, 1 off ( to top of this I have heard that person working such shifts always is free in the same day i.e. youare always free on tuesdays,on example )
Holiday - maximum 14 days???
and so ,we may write three books relating to their "freedom of work" .
that is the reason why Spanish,French and many other atcos all around Europe will make resistance. they are just excellent in defending living rights.
this morning I got "report" about SES
.
they had a meeting,somewhere in Europe.
All old ladies and boys,arrived. per diem is anything above 100 eurs,plus hotel, plus transportation, plus dinner at the expense of conference host. Other applicable souvenirs ,to remeber them of conference
, plus God knows what else.
And do you know what they decide and do at taht meeting?
Nothing.
and now we are discussing about SES and number f ACCs and atcos.
Who cares ?
best regard my friend
