The idea of doing over time or being overworked is supposed to be dnagerous but you say it is OK to;
Most Atco's are multi rated/talented and that is how we run things so cheaply and efficiently-in that a controller could be in a radar postion in the morning and in the tower in the afternoon depending on rating and staffing requirements
You have no evidence.
Dream on my friend. It would take 2 years minimum for those to materialise even if suitable ones could be found. If
10 new members of staff validate in the next year and a half you can count yourself lucky.
Come back when you
a) Can show that there are 22 DE ATCOs validated.
and
b) You can appreciate someone who has dug you out of a hole and saved your ass. You were not so quick to call a "dumb ass" then were you?
