Gisajob.
I don't think the comment'why so bitter' is at all relevent. Your message was started with the comment 'do not follow spoonbills poor advice'. As an ATCO who followed that course of action with success, as obviously a number of the other postee's on this thread did. We are merel'y disagreeing with your comments. Your post came over as an advertisement for Safeskys which your subsequent post obviously admits it was. I have nothing against Safeskys but I do think that attempting to use the threads as a means of rubbishing good practical advice from working ATCOs whilst promoting a company with which you have business links is questionable to say the least. The rest of us on this thread are not ATCO employers, to use your job discription, but ATCOs who were in 1980ghostrider's position at the start of our careers. Ghostrider..best of luck, if you persue it hard enough you'll find the first rung on the ladder.
