How can young people get a taste for a career if this continues to happen?
The current company I work for (nowt to do with aviation) also adopts the no work experience policy. It's not business critical so it gets **** canned. The real reason is probably because it takes up too much of someone's time to organise.
I remember many years ago going to West Drayton for the day with the brother of my best mate at the time who was a controller. I worked in the aircraft industry but had no experience of ATC at all. I ended up re-negotiating agreed slot times with a number of different airlines. Bizarre wasn't the word!
