How refreshing for the ATCO board... Another "youth of today" type post
Just the experience of a lot of us who are continually meeting products of the college who have the ability to do the job but have no interest in aviation generally.
Quite a few will probably
never do a fam flight even though some are available.
To those of you that ARE interested, the nice ladies and gentlemen at KLM and BMI Baby are happy to have guests as long as you can provide suitable job-related photo ID, no pre-booking required, but still obviously at the discretion of the crew on the day.
I had jumpseats both ways to/from Amsterdam recently with KLM and it was good to hear that they think very highly of the service they receive in the UK.
