Things are really taking a turn for the worst at the ACC. Another 2nd Floor resignation in the past few days (bringing total to 3 thus far). Replacement of previous useless DATM with buddy of current EDANS. ATCO suspended as what is being suspected as retaliation for an email sent to ATCOs in response to managements request for 'help' in recruiting suitably qualified controllers. I do not believe anyone is celebrating the 34 days of leave reinstatement as we actually have not gained anything.
Again, you must be off your top to come work here right now. It is clear the GCAA will go to whatever lengths to reduce costs. If the summer is anything to go by with Dubai runway closures, the traffic is going to be nuts. Emirates have effectively kicked out the competition and sent them snarling to Maktoum Intl. No proper procedures exist to accommodate the amount of traffic expected. It seems like this eventuality has taken the GCAA by surprise again.
Stay at home. Let the rest of us weather the storm and wait for clearer skies. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow....but some day...
