I am just curious as to the number of people who are currently at the Bournemouth CATC, or are going there soon (i.e. have passed stage 3), who are of a similar age to myself. (18) Since failing the recruitment process at stage 1 earlier this year, I have thought perhaps NATS are reluctant to recruit trainee ATCOs of my age. Althought I accept I failed because of the
personality questionnaire (ahem), I cant help but feel that despite the age range for applicants (18-30 I belive), NATS don't want to take on people who have just finished A-Levels, and have no experience in aviation or ATC itself. Just curious, it was actually something my parents suggested. So am I too young, and will I have to wait a few more years before NATS give me a real chance in this lottery?
I would appreciate any replies of people who are 18-19 and in the college, or awaiting their course. Or any ATCOs who were accepted into the training course at my age.
Cheers
