Missy. Why wouldn't Civil air support a system where skilled and trained controllors keep aircraft in IMC apart?
Dick, got a couple of controller mates. They couldn't give a rats arse if they're controlling aircraft to the ground. What they care about:

They receive the proper training to conduct an approach service.
They have the correct staffing to provide this service.
They have the correct sized sectors to provide this service.

What they are keen for you to understand is, if there's not a tower at the aerodromes they're controlling to the ground, it's one in, one out. Or one in while the next in line holds whilst a possible missed approach is protected.

What my mates would be interested to hear is how this would affect the REX, QLink, Wagga Air, REX Training College & itinerant aircraft at Wagga Wagga. They say it is pretty busy there & they'd like to hear from the pilots involved.
