But High hopes, I am sure you are just asking for clarification, but I do hope that you are not weighing up the job of an ATCO against the job of an office worker based on leave entitlement before you decide which to go for. You have to want to succeed to get through training... a few extra days off will not give you the motivation that you require!!
No, not at all, I am not even an office worker, I was just using it as a general benchmark against standard working hours.
I work in Education and with 11 weeks off + 9 bank holidays there's hardly any job that can give me a better deal in terms of leave.
The ATCO profession should give me something I am more interested in, plus a better salary, while retaining a generous leave entitlement so it's a win win situation for me.

Thanks for taking the time to answer
