But this is the job…. You can’t be prepared for absolutely everything and need to interpret things quickly and act decisively or people die..
There are 1000x more reasons why someone isn’t suitable for the role than why they are and while some of these can be improved upon most of the really important ones can’t be. Some can do it some can’t that’s just how it is. It’s the same reason why improving your stamina or sprinting a bit faster won’t get you to the Premier League and when it comes to ATC this is the premier league.
The harsh reality is that the courses right now are filled with people who have no business being anywhere near the job. A huge amount of them will never validate and many of them are people who fudged the initial tests instead of just doing them.
