Given that the ATSA task encompasses such a wide range of responsibilites, what exactly would you like to see being examined as part of the annual check/licence/COC?

Would it include some form of medical (I know that if it did at least a third of our team would lose their jobs )?

I've never understood why people in ATC (particularly NATS) have such a hangup about getting paid for training. Surely once you get to a certain level of experience/seniority you are expected to contribute to training the next generation - in my last job that's certainly the way it was: "this bloke's on your watch, get used to it!". We cannot claim to be professionals with one hand and then insist on piece work money with the other.
