I have heard a nasty rumour that in a brief at our beloved spiritual home yesterday, on how TG9 should be integrating etc, it was slipped in about the creation of an Air Traffic Control Association. Entry criteria being that you needed to be an endorsed controller and have a controllers little blue book.
At that point, apparently there was much murmuring and rumblings from the FOMs present. Questions were asked why only controllers were allowed to join, considering that the brief was about how we should be integrating more and that FOMs are actually part of TG9.
Embarrassed looks from the Controlling fraternity execs I hear.
FOMs 1 - Controllers 0, I reckon.
I have also heard about how the FOMs now want the creation of FOMA. The Flight Ops Managers Association, entry criteria being you need to have been a Cpl and you own a book of any colour you want..
At a time when the controlling world is basically sh1tting itself because it is fearing civilianisation, they should be doing more to integrate, rather than forcing wedges between us.
In the impending Defence Review and much muted TG9/TG12 integration, I know who will be left with a chair when the music stops and it wont be the Air Traffic Controllers.
TTF Now.
