Churchall, if you got little response from pilots, would you not think that they do not share your view and could not be bothered posting to such a blatent wind-up? ATCs responded becuase they are sick of the way yourself and people such as Dick Smith constantly bring their profesionalism into question. It's like saying that all people with names starting with C (like you) are fools (like you). True for some, but not for the majority.
Also, can you provide a list of ATC centres/TCUs/TWRs (civil and military) that you have visited and the suggestions you made to improve things.
Can you also please quote your source for the way MIL ATC are selected for overseas assignment? (You are wrong by the way). I know plenty of ex-RAAF controllers working in various counties around the world that specifically recruited them because of their training. These include (but are not limited to) NZ, UK, East Timor, Mid-East, Canada and Switzerland, not to mention AsA.
All the best with your aviation career. If it fails, you could become Dick Smith's PA and spokesman! Cheers,
NFR.
