Speculation that training will not return to the NATS college for a while, and the hundreds of TATCs will not be needed for 5+ years. Having said that there is an ageing workforce so I am sure things will open up again in 3 or 4 years.
As someone waiting to start a training course, this would hardly be unexpected but is still disheartening. Is this speculation based on anything that has come from NATS themselves or more based on expectations of the industry? I doubt my cohort will get any kind of official update until the furlough scheme ends, but would be good to know what the current conversations are around this. It's been tough being in limbo since March waiting to find out if I'll even get a shot at the dream job I was offered...
