OJTI courses/ NATS
Heard a rumour that controllers from NERC are being sent on OJTI courses with only 18 months radar valid experience, with a view to getting SRG to dispense them to do without the 6 months more they need.
May be untrue, but if it is correct, is this fair? Am sure all units, and indeed controllers that want to be OJTIs, have all waited the standard 2 years (sometimes a lot more due waiting lists, and bad admin) before they go on the course, and get the responsibilities and the spine point that goes with it.
Anyone shed any light? Is every NERC controller now with an OJTI ticket, so the next on the list is 18months valid?
Or is the queue not being fairly formed down there?
Yours With Intrigue.
