HIAL have an excellent record of training their own atco's from scratch.
Although they're going to need a few experienced, fully qualified atcos to get the project up and running, I would hope that they can find the cash to invest in training some of the younger atco's who've served HIAL so well doing ADC/APC at some of the far flung points of the Scottish universe.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the age range at Inverness is not as young as it used to be. If that is the case, although they're entitled to be considered for radar training, they'd have to pass the apptitude tests and convince the company that they'd be a good investment.
That's not a dig at the older atco's - being old and decrepid myself - I know what the practicalities of such considerations are.
