You prove my point. Most ATSAs don't want to be sitting around reading books, they want to be doing something interesting and demanding. Their role at LATCC may not have been the most fulfilling but it was better than the situation they find themselves in now.
For the record, I prefer working at Swanwick but this was not always the case. My preference for LACC over LATCC increased as I became more comfortable with the kit and practical experiance improved the way we use the system. It's far from perfect but LACC is improving. If only we had the staff to allow us to open all the sectors we need.
