Yes, there are a few that have done a cut-down Holding Aircrew Airfield Air-traffic Course (or something like that). It is a cut-down course that qualifies them to do Tower/Ground in the VCR to help out with ATC capacity. They stay in the Flying Branch and are released as soon as their EFT is ready to take them for groundschool. It’s a good place to hold to get experience of Air Traffic - something that will benefit them for the flying careers for years to come.
So not quite as bad as it sounds
But still a buggers muddle.
You just hope any (potential) opposition is just as inept as we are!
