Everyone is paid much less than Heathrow,and bar one (Manch) less than Gatwick.However ATC wise it's much more interesting than the sausage machines in the South.
Gonzo,
You Southern softies should listen to a certain Billy Connolly when he says there is no such thing as bad weather,just the wrong kind of clothes.We do have SSR and radios North of Watford you know.Probably invented them
Point taken throw a dyce, I am aware of NATS units where tower and approach still exist but I think my bite was focused more towards current trainee cadets prospects of been able to get but aerodrome and approach ratings. Seems now you are streamed either on an approach or area course following your initial training on the course but from what I can gather after signing my life away on my initial declaration there is currently little chance of being sent to anywhere else other than Swanwick!::
