ILS, Lighten up on the poor wee buggers.
ATCO training is tough on the loved ones and it makes life just a little more bearable if you can soften the fact that you will be studying all hours that God sends for 9 months with no guarantee of anything to show for it at the end. My missus gave me endless grief before I went to Hurn and it was only the promise of a couple of weeks holiday in the middle that saved the day.
NATS HR are not particularly forthcoming about such mundane requests which although seemingly minor to thee are bloody important to the majority of people. Ditto working conditions during validation.
I believe the No 1 job may involve the playing of a piano in a house of ill-repute..
