Fed: Airservices to try to work out air traffic control issues=2
Mr Smith said he had only third-hand feedback on what the union wanted and Airserviceswanted to talk with Civil Air before commenting publicly.
"I know that many of our staff have genuine concerns and we want to get to the bottomof those concerns and do something about them but we can't do it by simply throwing bucketsof money at them," he said.
"They're certainly saying at the moment that there is an issue of trust between themanagement and the staff and I'd have to acknowledge that issue is there."
Civil Air president Ted Lang said sticking points included fatigue, personal leave,responsibilities and career paths.
"I'm calling on Airservices to enter into these negotiations in good faith and hopefullywe will be able to get an outcome and prevent any action in the not too distant future,"
he told reporters.
