The President of CivilAir , Robert Mason, has addressed  AirservicesAustralia's press release in response to the article in last Friday's Australian about fatigue in Australia's Air Traffic Control workforce.

CivilAir  have no desire to enter into a “tit for tat” rebuttal of Airservices Australia’s response to the article on ATC Fatigue issues in The Australian, Friday 29 April 2011 but CivilAir believe we must address assertions made by AirservicesAustralia.  A letter has been sent to the Editor of the Australian newspaper for consideration for publishing.
