Thanks Gonzo,
Its great that we can speak to guys like you who are doing the job and have been since such an early age. My interview is not until February, however I have started to prepare already. I have bought a CD - Rom called "How to become an air traffic controller" which is really helpful, I'm also beginning to read up on the technical side of things, technology used, major events in aviation etc. My only stumbling block is that I'm based in Glasgow and I really want to get into the tower at either Glasgow or Prestwick airport. I would also love to get into the control centre at Prestwick just to get a real feel of how you guys do the job. The only thing is I don't really know how to go about getting the opportunity to visit these places.
I'm going to look into it today but if you could give me some contact details, that would be much appreciated.
Ill also have a look on-line and try and get a hold of a couple of books by Graham Duke, if you think that will help.
Thanks again for your help Gonzo, I really appreciate it.
