Thing is there is much truth in some of this. Some (certainly not all) ATCOs at LATCC, both TC and AC behave in a way that is disrespectful of their peers and childish in the extreme. Yes, Gas venting is seen as highly amusing by some ATCOs and worse...
There is much arrogance, intolerance and down right abuse in the operational areas from certain people.
In any other company there would hve been court cases under the sexual discrimination act in particular and I think the time is well overdue for this (hopefully reducing minority) to GROW UP and behave like grownups in the real world.
Being very good at a very taxing and skillful job is no excuse to treat people like **** . In your great wisdom you shouls be more considerate of others - not less!
Sorry to rant and no I'm not a victim nor a senior manager. However I know wrong when I see it.
Peace and love. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
