strange topic considering im starting with my PPL next week. I myself would eventually want to fly for an airliner in my spare time.
I do however struggle to understand the part where you say we as ATC are preventing other pilots from flying/or persons that want to fly from flying. I have never heared flying companies or control towers ever complain that they have enought people to man the pools or fill the cockpits. I see this as a great way 4 the aviation community to help each other out, while gaining experience on the other side of the freq.

Jez.. PB is organising a get together at Brooklands Museum on MONDAY 26TH NOVEMBER. For info contact: [email protected]
HD may remember a certain ex Heathrow and ex Farnborough controller who also flew; initials were BM. He was seen taxying a Tiger Moth across the grass solo one day by walking at the wingtip (for directional control) and occasionally nipping over to the cockpit to give it a burst of power!
