Facing the prospects of leaving college in june after completing my A Levels, i'm thinking of my options as I don't think the prospects of getting in CATC anytime before 2006 (if i'm lucky), i'm wondering of how to increase my chances of getting onto the course. So i've decided that I will apply as an ATSA to some of the local airports. I'd appreciate it if anyone can answer any of these questions for me;
- Are ATSA's attached to a watch or on shifts?
- Do these sort of positions come up often?
- Is most of the training on the job or are you sent on a course?
- Is the going rate still 13-14K? (I think that was mentioned on a previous thread [NATS Airports anyway])
- Are ATSA's dying out with the introduction of electronic strips etc?
Any help would be really helpful, Thanks.
Adam.
