IFEZ, you are absolutely correct.
Airservices is a disgrace.
The statement about limiting executive pay increases is a smoke and mirrors exercise. Airservices have created "new" positions, with substantial salary benefits, and appointing encumbent staff. This technically doesn't come under the definition of a pay increase as they are new positions incorporating new job specifications. This constant restructuring looks good on paper to please our useless politicians but does nothing to enhance service or cost savings to the industry, or, God forbid, safety!
