SM4 Pirate - thanks for the response. Do I take it then that the tower positions are the ones that most of the more 'mature' in Airservices aim for? (A retirement posting for want of a better term) If so, what is the feeling then, when the last recruiting drive is looking for pretty much 'direct entries' and they go straight to the tower locations? If there is angst there, it must also make it difficult for the poor guys and girls that do decide to come across and get the 'plum' jobs.
