Calm down mate it wasn't an "area is better than approach" argument. It was purely down to supply versus demand. Right now for area the well has run pretty dry, and when they have tried to recruit area controllers from "new" places it has pretty much failed. The point I was making wasn't any kind of slur against Approach controllers, just in response to jors troolie's comment about finding new places to get controllers from, I was saying it hasn't worked in the ACC, and as such maybe our bargaining position is better. Maybe not, but chill out.
