Thanks for a really good post, the training of ATCO's at Willy had never crossed my mind.

Now that I think of it, the only knockbacks of service I have ever had were quite obvious some poor bloke was being trained and under immense pressure and busy workload (BNE CEN out of TL).

The lady that was being trained at Maroochydore a year or two ago was another and she seemed to get up to speed rather well.

So maybe this is a good case for not training at Willytown, that is throwing them in the deep end. Is this where they get trained from woooo to gooo, or do they start out somewhere quiet?
