Crap thread
If you lot want to discuss Nas, ICAO classes of airspace etc, go start another thread.
As for exploitation, how about Asa recruiting people from OS, telling them they will be a ML TMA controller on (former) FPC wages (21 yr career as TWR/TMA).
Poor bastard moves family from other side of planet, rocks up first day and is told,
"Sorry mate, you are now going to be an en-route controller and because you haven't done it before, you have to do our full en-route course in 20 weeks and we will now pay you $27 pa, as your an ab-initio student".
What can you do when you and family have re-located half way around the world. Blogs gets through course and told that they are going to group "A" three weeks prior to course completion. Starts learning group "A" theory and moved during Taaats course to new group "B".
Said person gets the ****s with the lies etc and leaves. This is not my own experience but there are many more examples of similar experiences out there.
Exploitation at its best.
