CBC coverage- Pilot’s frustrated ATC rant

[goingnowherefast]

Haha, some of those are either BS, or entirely NavCanada.

"surges in demand". Shouldn't that mean they'd be able to run at capacity?

"personnel resourcing". Surely it's not CATSA's fault NavCanada is having issues with personnel resources.

CATSA?

[rookiepilot]

CATSA?

How about a serious answer.

[16SidedOffice]

Ok then, so tell me what does CATSA have to do with anything regarding this?

Who called in b*mb threat on the control tower today across Canada? People are very upset right now about it.

NavCanada is trying to deflect responsibly. Their statement mentions "...security screening services...", among other reasons. CATSA has nothing to do with ATC delays, but they're hoping we believe their deflection.

Lineups to get through security and your flight simply leaves without you. The ATC delays are 100% from not having enough people in the system to fill the seats.

I wonder when Nav will sort there shit out, does anyone know if there are enough recruits in the pipleline to meet demand in a year or two?

That's the big question as there are still a TON of controllers in the system with 30+ years in and can go at any time.

How do other country motivate their ATC organization to push tin? I don't know if you travelled recently but it is a disaster that must be costing airlines millions daily. This country seems to just keep getting worse and destined to fail.
