How about a new GM at Hurn, that concentrates on training our Atcos before those of other countires
Or maybe it just that senior management elsewhere in NATS is telling the GM Hurn that he needs to bring in business to help fund the training of our own ATCOs. A change in leadership at Hurn will not necessarily bring a change in mindset up top in the company. Also, let's not forget that Hurn has been under threat for a good while, with it's future only being sorted out recently. Rocking the boat at the College would not do anyone any good.
I also heard that there is a course of 63 students about to start. Why so many? Surely senoior management would be better off cutting this by a third and paying them 15k each (or 10k plus 5k accom expenses) and concentrate on quality. Still that's another matter.
