I have already indicated, in my remarks on the Fava report, that scaling up may be inevitable, but that unfortunately, the wrong choices are once again being proposed. Mandatory tendering, for a limited period of time, for public tasks by private companies that compete among themselves – something which has been suggested before for public transport and ports – is now also being applied as a solution to organising air safety. This means that each airspace block can end up with a different company, although in the long run, a near-monopoly is bound to emerge and will control the lion's share of the airspace. The neo-liberal ideology will then triumph over safety. In this model, safety has given way to cost-cutting as a primary concern. It is believed that costs can be reduced by the use of fewer staff, and under poorer working conditions. Since these people are dotted around various companies with different interests, which are continually concerned about their chances of winning or losing the next tender, workers get the feeling that their work is no longer as vital as before, and this will inevitably lead to a drop in its quality. Moreover, the military are still not ending their occupation of the airspace. This approach gets no support from me."@en1
