Hey,

I've been looking at the same issues recently. I"m an enroute controller with Nav Canada and am in the process of filling out a NATS application. Does anyone know how they will be running the program for experienced controllers? Would you receive the same pay and training as someone who was off the street?

SHL does the screening in Canada as well, but I wonder if I would have to fly to the UK and write the same aptittude tests again at my own expense?

Also, I'm curious if anyone could tell me the eyesight requirements (diopter range?) at NATS as I've heard their standards are more strict than the CAA medical. I obviously hold a valid Canadian medical, does that count for anything?

Thanks alot
