Ahem!
Dear Mr Bexil - please dont tar all new (young?) ATCOs with the same brush. Many of us are quite keen to learn!
Thats why I've followed this thread with keen interest. We may not have the massive experience that you repeatedly tell us you have (LARS, Area, Terminal, Airfield are the ones I can remember from your posts)- but most of us try hard to do our job to the best of our ability.
anyway - havent you already pointed out that it was a CSC that got him/herself embroiled in this argument? so much for experience.
