FABs, ACCs, future ATCO prerequisites/treatment
Hi there,
I've had a look at the Eurocontrol's corner regarding this, and have searched this forum, but to no avail for the most part.
Assuming such info has been set in stone, can someone verify how exactly the whole FAB idea is meant to work, in terms of WHO controls what, and what new, if any, procedures take effect in terms of training future controllers.
There are one or two threads here that note that each ACC will still remain, but will only get whatever sectors within the FAB are assigned. That seems somewhat reasonable, but is it truly gonna happen this way? Also another thread notes that Vienna is gonna be one of the new 'centers', for SE Europe. In conjunction with this, and any actual info on who will control what, how are people gonna become controllers? Since Eurocontrol is 'taking over', it would be reasonable to assume that the actual countries would sign some agreements so that people are equally treated across. If the 'current' system remains, 'getting in', in some countries is not all that simple, especially at enroute level, due to politics/bureaucracy/etc.
Thanks.
