The BBC training courses for operators and engineers took about 2
years. Starting off with a 13 week basic course at Wood Norton, about
a year of on station training another course of about 6 weeks, another
year on station and then a final course of a few weeks. You had to
pass tests on each course and were continually assessed during the on
station sections. If you weren't good enough you would be
"terminated", and people were occasionally, although the selection
before you started training was quite good in weeding out unskilled
people.

You have to be kidding.
I can understand engineers needing a lot of training, but operators.

Rather typical of one who pronounces on how much anyone should be paid.
They haven't a clue what the job involves.


Just exactly where have I said what anyone should be paid?
On the other hand you want them to be paid union rates.
