Sumosan,
Yes it is easy to cast stones, but since when is a crew room rant not constructive? You were around in the days when the crew room was just that, a room where people taking a break could discuss issues and learn from each other. The bean counters have ensured that the natural transfer of information from old and bold to the fresh meat in the crew room no longer takes place. Most crew rooms are now only occupied for the odd end of day social or leaving do at best. During the working day there might be 1 person in there doing their secondary duties! Consequently, such debates as the future of mil ATC and the age old moan at the Ivory Tower formally known as MATO is consigned to a civilian website! Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy debate in my view - you could always start your own thread saying how wonderful everything is in the world of mil ATC!!!
