As to the streaming process. You are told whether you'll go Area, Aerodrome (Tower) or Approach about half way through the basic course. These days the vast majority are streamed Area. How the decision is made as to who (if anyone) is streamed for Airports ... as a Trainee you'll never really know! None of my course could work it out.

Strange, a company directing people towards higher paid jobs. I suppose if the demand is there... The money does seem good but it just seems less exciting. Pity you don't get a choice.
