Over the past few days(between teaching and missions) I did some research on the number of AEC's in the CF now, what we do, where we are posted, and most importantly how many unfilled positions we have. I know the Preferred Manning Level(PML) is more complicated than it appears on a simple spreadsheet, but I think it illustrates how badly we need people.
Current # of positions - 527
Current # unfilled - 102
# filled - 425
That leaves us 19% short. For those of you out there smarter than me, I know it is more complicated than simple math, but it does illustrated we are short.
I also counted the number of AEC's who's current position is an actual control position(IFR, VFR, and Weapons), and not some type of staff job as well as the number that fly(AEW).
Current # controlling - 227 (53% of filled positions)
Current # flying - 46 (included in # of controlling pos.)
So in summary 53% of Aerospace Controllers fill an operational position.
It was interesting finding this out, and is worse than I thought.
In addition to AEC I did the same research for the ANAV occupation, but I will post it in the Aircrew Trades folder.
Everyone can draw their own conclusions as to what the numbers mean, but as 'they say' it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out(what I am trying to say).
