A simple solution, try and arrange to spend half a day in your local atc unit, preferably when the weather's nice, then you'll see exactly how many pilots we have to tolerate with the "I expect" attitude, and how many EVO's there are.
I could guarantee encountering at leats 3 per shift.
Personally, I welcome PPL etc visitors to ATC, it gives all a good opportunity to find out what we're both all about, PM me if you would be interested.
