Spitoon, good to see you'll never miss a chance to knock LHR.
Good to see that LHR people still have to focus on the attrition rate rather than success
Maybe you could quote the reference that shows we have focused on attrition in the past?
For the record, since the move to the new tower, we haven't 'chopped' a single trainee, we have lost a handful in the last few months, one only on Friday, due to some leaving ATC all together or personal circumstances. My flippant remarks in brackets was a nod at the frustration felt by my colleagues who have put a huge amount of effort in with the said trainees!
But I guess you knew that before you posted with authority on the LHR culture.
