Sorry have been away but still here and listening with interest.
Another scenario, what if this person decided not to give one to one tuition and then decided to write a book about modern atc. The book would then be sold in bookshops, therefore making money for the writer. What is the difference? A couple of things have come to mind from this thread. Firstly, none of the atco's who have posted replies seem to value their profession, meaning value, and how much are you worth. Secondly, the negative views show that nobody has an entreprenurial sense. If there are people out there with the guts and vision to find a niche in the market then good on them. An atco's position is on the same level as a doctor, lawyer, teacher and any other profession. How many doctors work for the nhs and then do private work for BUPA, loads. Why? to make more money. How many atco's have other businesses, loads. How many pilots have other businesses, loads. What is wrong with one person finding a gap in the market and making money, nothing.
If all your fuses in you house blew tonight would you expect the electrician to advise you how to fix them, for free. If you could give your professional knowledge, for a small fee, to prospective atco's then why not.
