The Big Question is:

In the news

In recent weeks it appears that the mainstream media have given us a run.  Some of them, despite the false starts of 63% wages claim, are even starting to question the inevitable 'TIBA is safe" and "Safety has never been compromised" and 'pilots are trained in the procedures" and "International practice" defences trumped out by the PR Spinners of CASA and Airshambles, when they are providing no ATC service whatsoever.  Heck TIBA is worse than OCTA, cause at least in the OCTA environment you get a traffic statement about other IFRs.


We will be back soon with our analysis of this article, but the main questions you can garnish from this article are:
1) are the controllers causing TIBA running an industrial campaign, or 
2) are the numbers really low and will be that way for some time, and/or
3) is TIBA not safe as claimed by the controllers and those responsible will really be in the shit if something goes wrong.
