I read Wes's report carefully for the first third (missing a few pages the one on the slopey desk is...) but, due to cracking a rib laughing, had to skim the rest.

What a load of hot cock!

By careful examination of the figures he reckons all Oz could be worked from 10-15 consoles. Apparantly, each work station (when averaged over 24 hours) only works 12 aircraft. But a busy Yank sector can work 17 or 18. So changing the airspace will fix this discrepancy. It is horsesh*t thinking like that that figures we'll save $70M a year. Oh, and turning off the HF.

Even when he mentioned dollars it was all based on LLAMP!!! If the biscuit salesman thought his plan was so radically different to LLAMP how could the costings be even remotely similar. (Papa Smurf should have shredded everything...)

And all this comes from an ATC who is reasonably keen on the project...
