    How long before we can downgrade the UK’s status to “undeveloped country “?

        That’s because working as cleanup crew or on the ramp is basically indentured servitude, and there is a single ATC facility in the entire country that is fully staffed. More controllers are retiring than are being hired.

        Things impact each other, if you miss your slot or you time out for the day you’re done, go home. Your airplane will be taking up someone else’s slot and they have to move it to where it’s supposed to be and find the crew to do it, and it just cascades until gridlock and a hard reset.

            Because UK "people" are actually it*lians trying to speak english, but instead of adding vowels to the end of each word they add butter-churning noises. Scientists argue this is caused by either sun or good cheese deprivation

            The British Museum stole all the ends of French words during the chaos of the battle of Waterloo, they've refused to return them every time they've been asked since.

    I worked in an emergency room which was only 40% staffed. Our typical burnout time was a year. Some people broke within a few weeks/months. You couldn't sleep or predict your shifts or adequately allocate resources to multiple patients or take a legally mandated break. If any one worker became injured or sick, it'd reverberate throughout the entire staff putting everyone else under unsustainable pressure.

    There's no way in hell the NHS can maintain 35% staffing for long. Those high-pressure wards are going to be so much worse.

    Honestly not surprised that the air traffic stuff is failing, considering that most of that tech, hardware and software is decades old without any meaningful investment towards making it better and I wouldn't doubt the same is happening with the Porky's computer systems or the NHS phone lines

    Like how a pothole never actually gets fixed, just repeatedly patched over and over, so too are these systems failing because nobody is actually doing anything about it

      Airline software is notoriously bad even when properly staffed! Just look at us Americans and holidays picard-annoyed

    They won't blame their own crumbling IT infrastructure I'm sure

      Why not go for tradition and blame Argentina? The Falkland Islands haven't been in the news for a while.

    Just to be sure, zero chances it might be a "good faith sabotage", like the electrical engineer dude who shoot at poorly protected electric boxes or some shit cuz nobody listen to him to protect those boxes but then nothing changed?

          Those darn Russians, patiently spending 40 years destroying British national institutions by covertly controlling every prime minister to wildly slash budgets. Will their evil know no bounds?

      Hanlon was a nobody from Scranton PA who came up with an arbitrary maxim based on literally nothing but vibes, I think I’ll pass.

    I mean, they're also dealing with a covid wave right now too, aren't they? If you cut your support staff and a shitload of the remaining folks are forced out sick, regular failures that are usually fixed in a reasonable amount of time tend to just compound on each other in natural denial of service events.
