Cross Training
An issue that needs tackling now is that of ATCO's posted straight off their cadet course to Oceanic. Nothing wrong with the Ocean, it's a busy unit, but these guys and gals are not getting the opportunity to validate their radar licences ten years later, despite being promised by the then GM it would happen within 5 years.
I know management have logistical difficulties but by not allowing these people to use the licence that NATS spent Łks training them for, them they are becoming a resource that is becoming immoveable, as well as extremely disenchanted.
We need to see a major push to get these people properly utilised, now!!!!!!!!
