这两天看到两则关于空管的消息,一则关于纽约管制员持续短缺导致航班量要缩减,另一则是关于澳大利亚的管制员正准备要罢工。
摘自simpleflying:New York Flights May Continue To Be Reduced Due To Air Traffic Control Shortage
With the busy New York City area grappling with an air traffic controller shortage, airlines are not confident they can sustain smooth operations if the minimum flight requirement cuts are lifted later this year. As such, they are demanding an extension of this policy for another year until the ATC staff shortages are addressed.由于繁忙的纽约市正在努力解决航空管制员短缺问题,如果今年晚些时候取消最低航班要求,航空公司没有信心能够维持平稳运营。
因此,他们要求将这一政策再延长一年,直到空管人员短缺问题得到解决。
Airlines in the United States would like to extend the cuts to minimum flight requirements in the busy airports serving the New York City area. The shortage of qualified air traffic controllers has led to congestion at airports in the region, and airlines have been granted cuts in minimum flight requirements until October 2024.美国航空公司希望将削减范围扩大到服务于纽约地区的繁忙机场的最低飞行要求。
缺乏合格的空中交通管制员导致该地区机场拥堵,航空公司获准在2024年10月之前削减最低飞行要求。
While the long-term solution to the New York City area’s ATC woes is the addition of more employees, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also trying to offer other solutions, such as relocating Newark airspace to Philadelphia ahead of a record summer travel season.尽管解决纽约地区空管问题的长期方案是增加更多的员工,但联邦航空管理局(FAA)也在尝试提供其他解决方案,
比如在创纪录的夏季旅游旺季到来之前,将纽瓦克空域的管理迁至费城。
摘自simpleflying:Aussies Face Disruption As ATCs Vote On Strike Action
Australia's air navigation services provider, Airservices Australia, is facing off against the two key employee unions that represent the bulk of its workforce providing air traffic control and aviation rescue firefighting services at the nation's busiest airports. The dispute with the air traffic controllers is reaching a climax as they are currently voting on proposed strike action should their claims for improved wages and conditions not succeed.澳大利亚的空中导航服务提供商澳大利亚航空服务公司(Airservices Australia)正面临两个关键雇员工会的挑战。
这两个工会代表着该公司的大部分员工,在全国最繁忙的机场提供空中交通管制和航空救援消防服务。
与空中交通管制人员的争论达到了高潮,因为他们目前正在就提议的罢工行动进行投票,如果他们要求改善工资和工作条件的要求未能成功的话。
Airservices Australia (Airservices) is the Federal Government agency responsible for the safe and efficient management of around 11% of the world's airspace and the provision of airport firefighting services. Civil Air is the association representing the professional, technical and industrial needs of Australian Air Traffic Controllers and Air Traffic Control supporting staff. The two commenced negotiations for a new Enterprise Agreement (EA) in November last year and Civil Air has successfully applied for a Protected Action Ballot Order, with members currently voting on proposed industrial action.澳大利亚航空服务(Airservices)是联邦政府机构,负责安全和高效地管理全球约11% 的空域,并提供机场消防服务。
Civil Air是代表澳大利亚空中交通管制员和空中交通管制支持人员的专业、技术和工业需求的协会。
两家航空公司去年11月开始就一项新的企业协议(EA)展开谈判,民航已成功申请了一项保护行动投票令,目前成员国正就拟议的工业行动进行投票。
The two are at loggerheads because Airservices has offered a pay rise in line with the provisions of the Australian Public Service Commission's offer of 11.2% over three years, which the union has rejected. Civil Air says that any attempt to say the action is solely in pursuit of a higher pay rise is factually incorrect and declines to nominate what wage outcome they want, although Airservices said in a statement it is for a 20% increase over three years.这两家公司之所以争执不下,是因为 Airservices 提出的加薪方案与澳大利亚公共服务委员会(Australian Public Service Commission)提出的在三年内加薪11.2% 的方案一致,但工会拒绝了这一方案。
Civil Air说,任何试图说这一行动只是为了追求更高的工资是不正确的,并拒绝提出他们想要的工资结果,虽然民用航空公司在一份声明中说,它是为了在三年内增加20% 。
In its statement, Civil Air made the point that air traffic controllers (ATCs) are highly trained, skilled professionals who operate in an intensely regulated and scrutinized industry, subject to practical examinations, medical examinations and ongoing refresher training for their entire career. The punch line of the statement was:
"Clearly, the provision of air traffic services is a specialised and unique task that differs significantly in character from the work of the wider public service."
Civil Air 在声明中指出,空中交通管制员(atc)是受过高度训练、技术娴熟的专业人士,他们在一个受到严格监管和审查的行业中工作,整个职业生涯都要接受实操检查、体检和持续的复训。“很明显,提供航空交通服务是一项专门而独特的工作,与整体公共服务的工作性质有很大不同。”目前看来,咱们中国管制员还是世界上最勤奋、最踏实、最值得赞扬的人,truely unsung heroes!以上内容转载自公众号“航空眼”,
