Hi sputnik

how do you know me? I was already in the NAMATCA Constitution...

4.2 To promote honourable practice and maintain in the profession a high standard of efficiency and integrity dedicated to the safety of those who seek their livelihood or pleasure in the air.
4.4 To promote discussion, to facilitate the exchange of information, and generally to raise the standard of knowledge of those persons engaged in the profession.
4.11. To maintain the standard of conduct, discipline and reliability among its members which is essential to the service in which they are engaged and to protect the interests of such members through recognised procedural channels.
9.1.1 President

(a) The President shall preside at all Conferences/ Meetings and shall supervise all activities of the Association, enforce observance of the constitution of the Association, ....
ARTICLE 15: CODE OF ETHICS

In order that the dignity and honour of the Air Traffic Control profession may be upheld, that its sphere of usefulness and its benefits may be extended and that members of this Association may be guided by the highest standards of integrity and fair dealing whether as individuals or in Association with others in the aviation industry, the Executive Committee of the Association applies the following Code of Ethics and Conduct for the guidance of the members of the Association:
15.2 Each member shall endeavour to contribute new knowledge to the Air Traffic Services by making known to the aviation world any significant work, improvements or research accomplished.
There is a lot more. Maybe some individuals don't belong to the same Association; which is accidently afiliated to IFATCA.

Hey voël, I guess you need to keep your life west on? Hope you have enough, but mind you, those who left no longer need theirs.

Well well well.

I predicted people leaving. Didn't think it would happen so fast...

I also predicted that it would affect safety in Namibia's skies. Did anyone turn the aircons up?

Aircons??

The Windhoek FIR is the moddern 'Conair' Who conned who?

Zim controllers are seen, by management, as the only option out of this debacle. Which type of contract will they be offerd? Since they are specialized in either TWR/APP or ACC it will take some namibians training time and namibian government $$ to get the 4 locals replaced. It is obvious that the namibians are on the loosing side again.

IATA had some foresight in declearing this a 126,9 airspace.

Now you keep on thinking along those lines and things will be great. You're really making progress here.

Well done.
