Mighty funny you go on about ATPL and BALPA etc when you as a self confesed airtraficer are viewing and passing comment on a military AIRCREW forum - do us all a favour and irritate someone else who might be remotley interested in your bleeting.
Intriguing.
Do I detect that Swerve does not like Air Tragic? Has he had a bad experience? Did he not get a good headin from one of our lovely ladies?
Maybe he only has a small chopper?
As for comments about MILITARY air traffickers playing on the MILITARY aircrew page I think it's better than being a bitter and twisted Civvy pilot bleating about how much money they should get paid! Maybe you should take your CIVILIAN bleatings over to the Airline pilots pages, after all you did leave the Military? Somehow I don't think they would be interested either!
Finally, you also said
Fact - most ATC types are failed aircrew
What utter crap.
I have served on the ATC School for 6 years and in that time we have had ZERO chopped fast jet/multi eng reject aircrew come thru'. We have had 6 RN and 3 RAF chopped rotary. Of those RN studes 4 have failed and are now driving boats as Warfare Officers, 2 RAF failed and are now working in Admin and 1 is still in training at CATCS. The only Wings you will see in ATC these days is on the Duty Pilot!
So, as for me firing from the hip, maybe. At least at don't talk b*ll*cks!
