That is probably the funniest thing I have ever read on PPRuNe in all my years!!

If you really think that ATC's (dynamic or otherwise) can 'tell' their 'bosses at ASA' ANYTHING, and actually get heard, you are more out of touch than I thought!!

I had a now extremely high level manager tell me quite happily a few years ago that ATC's are equivalent to "bank tellers", and nothing more. They face the customer and make transactions.

To the 'bosses', controllers know nothing - the only smart men in the room are wearing suits and working at HQ in Canberra.

You are barking up the wrong tree Dick. If you want reform you'll get more by pushing your agenda with Senators Heffernan, Searle, Gallagher and Xenophon than you will by trying to get it pushed by line controllers from the bottom up. It doesn't work that way, not here.
