		<description>I&#039;m a veteran ATC; in 3 very short years Greg Russell has rudimentarily reduced our once proud organisation into a joint run by yes men chasing the almighty dollar, that claim a safety mantra because their system says so, not because it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Record profits offset by deliberate actions to reduce costs including expensive wages by those highly paid unproductive trainees, that tend to fail in high numbers.  These profits have produce significant management bonuses, for what, running the company into the iceberg?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the Board silent, does Russell have their full support?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russell&#039;s restructures, not an imaginary ATC industrial campaign is to blame.  30+ Managers no longer talk to aircraft because of his restructures, minimum staffing requirements have risen due to task division processes (his SDE restructure, for those in the know).  Night shift coverage has also increased because of SDE. There might just be a link between extra night shifts and extra fatigue levels?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently searching the internet for a job elsewhere, I&#039;m taking the first life boat off; the iceberg is approaching; I&#039;ve had multiple discussion over the last week, many others are also seeking a position i a life boat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Russell has, single handed, united the ATC work group as one, working to destroy the common enemy, GREG RUSSELL, well done; this has never happened before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minister just today released &#039;productivity figures&#039; courtesy of the BITRE report as mentioned in today&#039;s Australian, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,24107572-23349,00.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything in RPT aviation in Australia is up, except for controller numbers., which have declined sharply in recent times and when the &#039;age profile&#039; truly kicks in, some 30 years after the last major recruitment campaign, it will get a whole lot worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Productivity through the roof, now this menace known as Russell wants extra &#039;flexibility&#039; regarding rosters, NEWS FLASH GREG, BUGGER OFF IDIOT!</description>

<p>Record profits offset by deliberate actions to reduce costs including expensive wages by those highly paid unproductive trainees, that tend to fail in high numbers.  These profits have produce significant management bonuses, for what, running the company into the iceberg?</p>
<p>Why is the Board silent, does Russell have their full support?</p>
<p>Russell&#8217;s restructures, not an imaginary ATC industrial campaign is to blame.  30+ Managers no longer talk to aircraft because of his restructures, minimum staffing requirements have risen due to task division processes (his SDE restructure, for those in the know).  Night shift coverage has also increased because of SDE. There might just be a link between extra night shifts and extra fatigue levels?</p>
<p>I am currently searching the internet for a job elsewhere, I&#8217;m taking the first life boat off; the iceberg is approaching; I&#8217;ve had multiple discussion over the last week, many others are also seeking a position i a life boat.</p>
<p>Mr Russell has, single handed, united the ATC work group as one, working to destroy the common enemy, GREG RUSSELL, well done; this has never happened before.</p>
<p>The minister just today released &#8216;productivity figures&#8217; courtesy of the BITRE report as mentioned in today&#8217;s Australian, <a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,24107572-23349,00.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,24107572-23349,00.html</a></p>
<p>Everything in RPT aviation in Australia is up, except for controller numbers., which have declined sharply in recent times and when the &#8216;age profile&#8217; truly kicks in, some 30 years after the last major recruitment campaign, it will get a whole lot worse.</p>
<p>Productivity through the roof, now this menace known as Russell wants extra &#8216;flexibility&#8217; regarding rosters, NEWS FLASH GREG, BUGGER OFF IDIOT!</p>
