ATC contributed to 15% of flight delays in December
ASA should be sent the fuel bill for that.
Meanwhile the government bangs on about climate change and aviation yet some of the longest flights in the world can't even track direct because our government can't staff their own ATC system that they charge everyone for.

Neville, quite right! However if you look at the traffic in that airspace off the east coast during a TIBA doggo shift 1230-1830 last week on FR24 Replay there were a hell of a lot of jets going straight through the airspace and not going around like QFA095…. 1730 - 1830 very interesting….raises a whole lot of questions that will be asked on the TIBA thread
When people like RS survive as long as he has in ASA it tells you how putrid the organisation is. One thing saved Jase's neck after Broderick's reveiw, covid. Even if he goes in disgrace now, he's pulled in millions and will laugh at you all. The culture is a disease there, it's like multiple myeloma, it can go on 20 years. Government will never do anything about it because they simply do not understand ATC and never will. It's like voo-doo land.
ER BN, I'm the most cynical and sarcastic bastard in the world, I didn't pick Plasbaby's comment as sarcastic.

It looks like approximately an extra 500nm over the great circle route. So at least an hour flight time. Only a handful of people would really know what the actual cost of that is.
Now we get a story that Airservices are not meeting their obligations with RFFS. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-...oast/103427882

On Tuesday, the Senate voted down a Coalition push for a committee to examine “the ongoing dysfunction in air space management”.
Go figure

And if the Coalition were in government and Labor had pushed for the same examination, it would have been voted down.
That, children, is why CASA, ATSB and Airservices (among many other Commonwealth government agencies) are basket cases.

Just a friendly reminder on what's been promised in writing and then delayed, so far:

Don't worry, the SFIS will prevent any accident at Ballina.
Oh wait ... I forgot the SFIS is frequently NOTAMed unavailable.
Lucky the roulette wheel is pretty big.

Frequently heard around the corridors of power in Canberra,
"Minister/Sir/Ma'am, the peasants are revolting",
"You're telling me! All they do is complain about service delivery".

It's borderline scary how close to the truth "Yes Minister" and "Utopia" are….

One of the principal reasons bodies are set up as quangos / government-owned corporations is so that the politicians can avoid responsibility.
When stuff goes wrong, the Minister can blame the management and/or the Board, while pointing out that they are legally independent and it would be most improper for the Minister to direct them on an operational matter.
If the brown stuff really hits the whirly thing, the 'outraged' Minister can fire the Chair or the whole Board whilst weeping copious buckets of crocodile tears about how upset, disappointed and/or horrified he/she is.
What a lot of naive facile twaddle!
So how did Robodebt occur? The responsible departments were not QUANGOs!
Watch Nemesis and the responsible minister (ScoMo) say "Oh had I been told it was illegal...blah blah blah....
I don't think Lead Balloon was specifically choosing QUANGOs....
Sigh!
