There are exceptions, but I believe in the saying that "You get what you pay for".. Where I work we are losing "CONTROLLERS" with 20 plus years experience and many could have remained up to five more years. But due to money...yes money (no chance of raises or movement to larger facilities for a raise) they are retiring and getting yearly raises in their retirement pay.
And me with 4 years to go till retirement must train daily personnel that have no or very little aviation experience. They expect theses trainees to certify in half the time and are cutting corners to make the numbers look good. I risk my career to allow a trainee to work on the radar when he or she should be seasoning on the assist position that they just certified on. I know that the pilots of this forum must notice the difference in service provided due to the increase in training at US facilities. I for one would like to apologize to the pilots that are delayed or poorly handled during theses difficult times.
