Assitant ATC - the way forward?
As some of you may remember, I recently failed at the initial selection day for the NATS course. It is now a year until I can apply again and am considering my options.
Is it worth it, and indeed possible, to become an ATC Assistant and work my way up, perhaps outside of NATS? If so where would be best to apply to?
I also think that, were this not a good idea, it would be worth doing any job in aviation until the time comes when I can apply to NATS again. Does anyone know of a website that advertises aviation jobs in the UK.
I must add that I'm not just being lazy; I have done considerable, fruitless searching on the net regarding the above queries, and haven't had much luck. Any help would be very gratefully received.
p.s. reading the thread on you lucky people starting in Bournemouth this month makes me ache with envy! But well done, congratulations, and good luck with the course.
