Unfortunately, they end up in management. This is because we don't sack them, as this will look bad on the academy's/centre's kpi's for staff turn over. We promote sideways and these people are already disgruntled due being washed out.
An ex atc/fso does not necessarily a good manager make. I work for one.
There are students at the academy who have been backcoursed 3 times. Because mgt down there can't/won't sack them. They all try and get them support roles around the place. This explains why the ASA workforce numbers have soared in recent years and also explains the deadwood in the place.
