If it is 3-year training process is it not the previous administration that is to blame? Surely they would have trained enough people. And it is not like huge amount of controllers were fired just now?
- Loudergood 2y agoIt's the last 3 or 4 administrations to blame at this point, and they were just offered early retirement deals.
- Levitz 2y agoThis is the funniest thing of all: it's just a shitfest all around.
