A bit of a sweeping statement there. I don’t despise retirees, and I still think ATC has a lot to offer as a career.
However Kcockayne had it right in his second statement.
Anybody starting out into the world of ATC now, needs to enter with their eyes fully opened to the real challenges facing the controller in today’s world.
it most definitely not the job I started in 1991, and when I leave (17 months 12 days 10 hours and 30 mins) I will not be looking back through rose coloured spectacles.
