Dear Old Blighty welcomes all who add to the ethnic mix and can meet the necessary standards. Come on over and show us what you've got!
Interesting because a couple of the Canadians whom I work with have tried to move over to the UK for the same type of reasons I went to Canada for (ie marriage,relationship). NATS wanted them to do the WHOLE college course at Bournemouth...even though these guys were experienced controllers albeit from a different country. Not worth the effort really...especially redoing the basics!

Are these isolated cases or does NATS want them retrained...UK style. Surely that could be better done at a unit? Didn't notice too many foreign controllers when I was at EGPD or West Drayton. Are they put off by training requirements?
