Does anyone have any information on Genesis re ASA and RAAF ATC?
See the article from The Australian by Cameron Stewart dated 10 September 2013 at this link.
Particularly note the comment by Angus Houston from 2002: “Australia simply cannot justify, sustain or afford to continue operating two almost identical air traffic management systems.” Does anyone have any information on the project called Genesis? Was there a paper written, or was it stopped by the iron ring? |
You could try Google as I did where there is some information.

Airservices are having enough trouble consolidating their own terminal units let alone any Defence units. How much will the delay cost in extending house leases, temp housing, etc.

Simple answer to the 2002 question - why does the RAAF operate an air traffic control system?
|
You really are clutching at straws Dick. It's called "air traffic management" because these days it's more than just air traffic control.

Didn't we have this exact same thread like only a couple of months ago?

Are you suggesting that AsA controllers who were on the reserve would be not agree to go on such an operation?
Also there is any number of international contractors such as Cerco who will provide such a service. And that type of operation is unlikely to happen in the future. The US voters are clearly fed up with lives being lost while attempting to assist others and then being blamed when things don't go the way they hoped. |
What other fairy tales do you believe Dick? That Iraq one is a doozie.

There is a reason we have a military and spend so much money on it... So when the time comes we as a nation do not have to rely on anyone else! |
We have the military to fight the enemy.
Our enemies are unlikely to follow ATC instructions. Angus Houston clearly believed it was a mis allocation of resources. |
Do you know what military ATC actually do Dick?
|
Slezy9, I would have gone to Baghdad for 6 months, 2 weeks notice, no problems. Not bull****ting you. (former civilian ATC)
|
Oh come now, do we all believe there are no civilian contractors in war zones? Do we all believe that civilians are not capable of some of the jobs that military do? Where do you think members of the military come from? Straight from the womb?
|
The issues with ASA taking on the RAAF ATC's are that;
a. Civil ATC's get paid about double their military counterparts, b. RAAF ATC's wouldn't know enroute control from a hole in the ground, c. umm 'state aircraft'... |
