The Old Ways!!!
Time to get rid of the old officers and men culture of yesteryear. We can start by referring to ATCOs as Air Traffic Controllers and recognise the value of "Air Traffic Support" by adopting a seamless structure. The Local Area Supervisors at the London ACC Swanwick do not hold any validations and they make operational decisions that can have wide-ranging and severe effect. Their "competency" check is carried out in the canteen on a "you sign mine I'll sign yours" basis.
