DC10RealMan –

Although you have no doubt seen the original letter, for the benefit of who haven't, the term “professional licence” is taken directly from the Union letter which originally prompted this thread. I would not expect many ATSAs to object to the proposed licence being called a Certificate of Competency, ATSA Licence or anything else you want to call it, although the Union, for whatever reason, might prefer the term “licence” to be used. I just hope that all grades within ATC give a fair and unbiased hearing to the possibility of ATSA Licensing. Lets just all look rationally at the potential benefits/pitfalls (?) before making any decisions.

Any ATSAs out there who genuinely foresee problems with ATSA licensing?

And thanks to those ATCOs/ATSAs who have posted their views, or have been professional enough to discuss this issue with me at my Station without recourse to verbal slanging matches.


Niknak included!!
