Do they have sufficient skills or the ability to do that type of job? Just because you've been a strip basher for years doesn't mean you can write requirements etc. A lot of the staff at CTC who work on projects are ATC and have a considerable number of years of experience in the operational world. Unfortunately what they want to produce and deliver can be handicapped by monetary constraints and by the sheer difficulty of finding an engineering solution to a problem. Personally I'd love to be able to deliver the gold plated best solution on the newest whizziest bit of kit which did everything everyone wanted and a bit more besides. Sadly I have to live in the real world and am constrained by what I'm allowed to produce, by time, by money and by human resources.
