It's just that after speaking to a number of ATCOs in person whilst at Swanwick, I heard some of them had gotten in on their 4th or 5th attempts.
ShuttleSixYankee- Is that actually what you were told from those ATCOs at Swanwick?
If it is the case then I would be more than eagar to submit my FOURTH application for Trainee ATCO- Im feeling pretty gutted at the mo as I recently sat my stage 1 tests in London for the 3rd time and passed them- then completed the online personality questionairre about a week ago and was told I had not been invited to Stage 2- got a rather irritating email from HR telling me I'd failed the questionairre! Shocking and unbelievable after putting in so much time to pass those aptitude tests!
