"Lower pay for new entrants - now theres an idea - lets reduce it so much that the calibre of applicant is reduced (I've heard as low as 10-11K). OK, they may not pass the aptitude tests, but how long will the company accept lower numbers of entrants before 'massaging' the scores needed to join??
They've already bug***ed up the training by going too far at the college. We will end up with people with such a lack of aviation knowledge (I do not mean we need more spotters), that it will be dangerous. How does that tie in with becoming ???
"

So are you saying that people who want to be ATCO's...........are all spotters and have no idea about aviation or even any commitment to the industry?
As someone who has her apptitude tests on Tuesday, you're doing a very good job of putting me off-after all, who would want to work with people who have an attitude like that?!!
There are too many narrow minded people like this on here..........you should all be a bit more encouraging!!!!
