Yes, you would be WRONG.
Years ago one of the Oxbridge Universities had a look at all the character attributes of successful ATCO Cadets who completed their courses and went on to validate.
Guess what? Nobody fitted the "ideal" profile, indeed nobody was even close. People were spread out all over the spectrum... just like real life.
I guess it's all a question of tollerence for an individuals idiosyncracies (??). There are people that I don't particualrly like, or even like to be around, but they do the job and I don't have to spend all my time with them (much easier at LATCC than a smaller unit). The fact is LATCC ATCOs, supported by ATEs and ATSAs help move a million or so flights in a safe, orderly and expeditious manner. The job gets done, I go home, they go home.
Now, if the people you have a problem with are doing something unsafe, THEN you should do something about it. CA1261's are NOT just limited to ATCOs, and LATCC has it's own "safety observation forms" as well.
There, I've tried to be all nice and reasonable. Happy now?
BEX.
