expeditor, in response as a 'more junior ATCO', it seems we're getting to grips far more easily than many others. As we haven't had time to get 'lived in' feelings with Latcc, our ability to cope with change is far greater than the chiefs using a computer to co-ordinate. However, I do agree that getting a radar controller to cope with the planner role is very difficult, the lesser your experience, but its just the next step in what still seems to be an ongoing training program that has lasted 4 years so far (starting from day 1 at the college). Its much easier for us just to keep 'plodding on' and learn as we go.
Learn by your mistakes, just hope they aren't big ones!!!!
