The very senior management levels of the company tend to be filled by people brought in from outside though, in the past, there were one or two former ATCOs amongst them
You are 'kin joking aren't you? One or two ATCOs in senior positions? how about all senior positions until a certain Mr Everitt turned up....
Its interesting to see no real input from the ATSA fraternity on this one.. oh yeah, thats because there really is no career structure for ATSAs. its only been comparatively recently that they trusted ASTSAs enough to manage simulators. Once you reach the giddy heights of ATSA4 there is pretty much NO progression within the ATC discipline. All your bosses will be ATCOs who all worked with each other at other units in the past.
Bitter? me? Good God yes, but by God I'm pleased to be out, and working in an environment where your boss actually says things like "thank you". Shocked me that one....
