I think generalising is a little too harsh. There are varying standards of people at all levels in ATC.
Certainly the 6 weekers I've met recently during my occasional forays in the Ops Room have been a good bunch, very amiable, and at the standard you would expect for their stage of training. They also buy the Watch beer at the end of their time so they can't all be bad

All we need is the
Drinkathon date from our current young lady confirmed and she'll pass the final test.
The worrying thing is that none of them can keep up with us old hands when it comes to quaffing drink in the pub though ........ what are the youth of today coming to ??
Down in Bournemouth next week, so watch out young 'uns, there's a PPRuNer about !!
