Visited MUAC on Friday (thanks Ellen and others)
Apparently budget considerations mean that there will be a planned reduction in the number of controllers (+/- 50 was the number mentioned) in the next few years. Also a reduction in investment and system development.
It's always been feast (no pun intended) or famine concerning the provision of ab-initio courses. There will be a peak in retirement at the end of the decade again and it is expected that about 100 new controllers will be needed by 2020. So more courses should be scheduled in 2016-2017.
