Or better yet what about us all having a properly funded and managed Fam Flight system in place so that we can all learn from each other?
I'm obviously getting old. I would have thought that having an appreciation of when flightdeck workload is likely to be high should be basic knowledge for any controller, particularly one based at an airport.

But then I would also have thought that the basic adage that an aircraft won't slow down and go down at the same time would be understood by controllers coming out of initial training - but experience has proven me very wrong. Rather worryingly, I was faced with a trainee who told me that if it was important or true he would have been taught it during his college training!
