Maybe we have...The attribute/applying tests i do have some knowledge of how they work, but not how they influence you in the hot seat.
And now if a attribute test for NATS was so EASY for you, then you do really sit on some talent (my gosh, wouldn't we all want to have that)
Now even if she/he did have ATCO in the family, maybe the aviation enthusiasm flame was burning as much as it did for others (more interest, easier road to success). I said it and i'll say it again, an ATCO is one of the toughest jobs out there. If one could just go into PPRuNe and get the "answers" for the interview, Avherald would be over flooded of events.

oh lord....Still busier than SOU i guess and ARN is ESSA = Stockholm Arlanda

Ciao

@ARN

I'm not bragging about anything . The first part from day 1 is reciting as a robot something which is written in a booklet . Anyone with motivation can do that . If i had past all 3 stages then yeah i would have been very happy bout myself but still woudn't brag . ARN in my list is Angorarn , Papua New Guinee . Think IATA does't respect the unicity rule.

We all tend to brag sooner or later. It's not easy, i am aware of that.

@ GAPSTER - who is bragging, apart from you tough ego?

No I have not heard anything yet. Why do you think people have had results back? I have not seen anything on here yet. It's been a long nervous week!

20th and 21st of January

Anyone has any stage scheduled for the 20st of January (sunday)? If so, please pm me, I'll be driving on the 20th towards Fareham and I'll cross the euro tunnel, so I can go south though the coast or north through London. If someone needs a lift, let me know. Also, if someone will spend the night and is looking forward to have dinner it would be great too. On the 21st I'll do the return way, so please feel free to drop me a line if you need a ride to somewhere. My return schedule and route is as flexible, so I can drop you off wherever needed, even if just a portion of the way such as Fareham-Winchester.

Good luck to everyone going through the states.

Hey, I have one question before blindly applying as an trainee ATCO for NATS . I am from Romania . Romanians MUST obtain a working permit to work in order to work in the UK at the moment . In the application process I was asked if I have the right to work in the UK . Considering the fact that my working right is conditional ( meaning i have to obtain a blue card to have free rights to work there ) am i eligible to apply ? Sorry I haven't contacted HR about this matter but they seem pretty busy at the moment due to high number of applicants . Thanks

AFAIK you must be eligable to work just to apply, so before you have the permitt you can not apply, as I've understood it.

Then again, the only people who can answer it 100% is HR.


And have they started stage 1s during weekends now? I wonder who the poor person who'll have to come in on a weekend is...

So... how is everyone going with the booklet material? I'm in on the 24th for Stage 1. Feeling pretty good about it at the moment, just trying to memorise all the aircraft (any tips?).
