NATS single ratings, ex-cadets and the ATCO shortage.
NATS have now started their single ratings courses with course 200 and I here tell that there are already tower only rated students at EGLL and EGKK, with more in the pipe line to stay.
I also heard that Prospect are against it and the company will not re-hire any of their old cadets who have single ratings and were fired.
Anyone know why prospect and the company are against re-hiring their ex-cadets who are as equally qualified if not more experienced in radar than the new kids from the college and is the reason for this down to the performance of the new trainees?
I don't know about anyone else but this seems a little wasteful to me, especially when you read about the shortage of ATCO's floating round.
