A Twiddle about some very serious problems
Kharon again raises a salient discussion points. TICK
P2 again outlays a succinct post including the relevant links and commentary. TICK
A wee breakdown below on the ASA smoke and mirrors game;
- Back of house redundancies: ASA have tried to use the old chestnut of 'it's only back of house admin and technical support getting the arse, ATC are fine'. Well folks, I hate to tell you this but back of house support is equal in importance to our fine friends working the towers and remaining glued to radar screens. Techies keep the technology and infrastructure working. Without them we would have blind ATC because for the majority of them, their screens would go BLANK!!!!
- Back of house includes safety personnel, admin rostering, trainers and compliance staff. All critical areas in nature. 'Crewing' controlled airports is no small task. Just wait til the rosters turn pear-shaped and staff start to burn out from fatigue in more than they are now. Trust me, the last thing a pilot or passengers ever want is a manned towered staffed with micro sleeping fatigued ATC's because Purple Haze and Angus Useless have trimmed what fat remains even more.
- Purple Haze lack of safety analysis data. These muppets have been caught out. They have no robust risk assessment to prove that they have assessed safety risks. CEO's never have them, or if anything they have a cobbled together lightweight pony pooh document. Their focus is not on safety, it's on the almighty dollar.
An(g)us Houston has been on the Board now for several years. Why has he been happy to allow ASA to supposedly operate 25% overstaffed? Why has this billion dollar business been allowed to go into the 'red' without the Board being rolled? Why was Harfwit appointed CEO against the wishes of most people who know him. A decision again supported by Houston and his Board? And what did we get? Senate grillings, damning audits and now investigations. WE WARNED YOU!
The chickens have come home to roost, and until DDDDDarren grows a set and does what needs to be done - wield an axe and create a bloodbath right now, things will only get worse.
TICK TOCK selfie boy, we warned you...
