The ATC 'were' a great organisation, but have lost their way big time and have got bogged down with hype, spin, and the yellow coat brigade. The leadership has become so PC they cant see the wood for the trees. In fact the promotion material put out is quite misleading.
Shame; as at Squadron level they try so hard to make it work, but the effort now seems to be running coach services everywhere for so little actual hands on activity, and they completely screwed up the best youth 'Air Training' scheme anywhere in the world, which will never come back with such useless leadership at the head of "2 FTS'.
But why join them to go to the local gliding club? Why not just join the club, if one wants to learn to fly?
