fly_tornado Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Rank-and-file public servants at Canberra-based Airservices Australia will have to wait until at least November to learn the full scale of job cuts. Union officials fear the loss of up to 60 positions by June 30 could be followed by hundreds of job cuts with reports staff are being "kept in the dark". Profitability has plummeted by 90 per cent from $45.5 million in 2013 to $4.5 million in 2015. The group is expected to post its first financial loss of $13.6 million this year 'Kept in the dark': Public servants face long wait with hundreds of job tipped to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCBD Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So fees going to go up I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWF Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So fees going to go up I guess. As we do not fly IFR and do not operate in controlled airspace you are not paying any Airservices fees anyway so a fee rise will not affect RAAus ops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 This is more about the decline in the aviation administration through, I assume through modernisation and the introduction of more electronic services. Can't see maps getting any cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCBD Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 One thing is for sure - fees will always go up, and we do (some of us ) do operate in CTA. They - the GOV - CASA - RAA - will sooner or later work out how to bleed our back pockets more and more. Interesting point is that in USA it coast FIVE DOLLARS to register and aircraft. My first question is what is the RAA break up of where it goes - of our RAA fees and pilot cert and aircraft rego. How many new members joining and actual pilot certs being issued monthly from RAA????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Quite a few here fly IFR/CTA and more have CPL/PPL... Maybe now that those pesky navaids have gone they will return to profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are fees...for example every chart and ERSA is done by Airservices and Avplan and Ozrunways have to pay Airservices for the data 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
