There was no need for this staffing crisis in ATC, ASA were warned years and years and years ago that this would happen. Truth is, these jobs should be for Australians only. ASA will not invest the required amount of money to resource a training college capable of supplying the ATC's required.
I think it's the same for almost every ANSP, cutting costs leads to understaffing, and by the time they realize it, you need 3 years to recruit and train fresh recruits (which are not experienced...)
How are they going to solve this crisis if they aren't allowed to hire overseas controllers anymore ?
