I think it is a good idea to widen the area for potential students.The whole structure of the job has changed since I joined.The days of the ATCO being a demobbed wireless operator /air gunner(male probably conservative,big and small c ) are behind us and I for one am pleased to see that someone somewhere has recognised the fact that knowing a 737-400 has more doors than a 737-200 is not exactly the sort of "qualification"needed to get through a course and validate.We want to attract people who are capable and by recognising the fact that capable people can and do read ALL sorts of publications is a good start.In the same magazine there was an advert for both the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines .I suspect that those organisations have also arrived at the same conclusion.Quality exists all over the place a little thinking outside of the box is a good idea.
