The majority of people working in CTC are hard working professional people who work longer hours than operational staff without the benefit of the routine regulatory breaks that operational staff enjoy.
You sound a bit chippy old chap. What's yanked your chain? Feeling the heat?

There's a teesny weensy reason for that 'benefit' that we 'enjoy'. (But thank you for your munificence anyway).

Concentrating on stopping aircraft hitting each other is slightly more critical and (difficult) than fannying around on a computer.

I should know - I fanny around on the computer at home, for hours and hours. And guess what ? I don't need a professional licence to do that, or to run meetings.

I also 'enjoy' a profession with one of the highest rates of high blood pressure, crap equipment, ever changing procedures, the constant threat of having to co-ordinate with Scampton .. oh, yes and if I screw up I'm either on the front page of the news, stabbed on the doorstep, a mental wreck for life, disciplined or all four .....

Next!
