I’m sure you’re correct in the immediate term. However;
NATS recruitment frozen until God knows when.
Non NATS ain’t going to be sending people on courses unless absolutely necessary.
Doubt there will be many willing to risk leaving the mil to go civil any time soon.
Self funders? Forget it...
Can anyone else see where this is going?
Give it 2 years... oh no, we have no ATCOs again...
