ATCOs Assisted Flying Scheme(RIP)
It seems that the ATCO's AFS is going to be pulled with effect from June, add that to the loss of Fam. flights(officially that is)and the termination of liaison visits to other units, the professional knowledge base is becoming severely eroded.. .Okay so the AFS wasn't worth very much and hadn't been increased for years, but it all helps. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I always thought it was a good idea to encourage controller's to fly.. .I wonder when the co-operation/goodwill from us will run out?
