NEFAB

[mausis28]

Is here any person who knows how NEFAB and Single European Sky will effect ATS human resources? Is there any possibility that any ATCO will have to loose his job?

Along with FABs, the EU/EASA are creating a paperwork mountain and for there to be any chance at all for all of this stuff to be of the slightest value it will need to be written by people who know what they are talking about.

The dismal history of Eurocracy demonstrates quite clearly that nobody in Brussels cares in the least that their regulations are of value to anyone. (Prime example is the banning of olive oil bottles on restaurant tables). And trying to decipher the mountains of bureaucratic bumph shows equally clearly that nothing is written by people who know what they are talking about. So don't hold your breath waiting for a summons to join the Brussels gravy train.

I asked a similar question a few years back.

By the replies received there, the impression was that FABs were just a bunch of stuff put up for show. However by the replies in this thread, it seems they might affect things after all, and more so along the lines of what I was asking about.

I take it you two gents/ladies are currently 'in the business'? Care to elaborate a bit more on the matters of shortages and units, or are these simply your mere opinions?
