Only today I thought about emailing the relevant people in the USA to ask what it takes to be a controller over there, coming from the UK.
The deepest thoughts about it (in 20 seconds of brain power) were;
Which airport would I like to work at?
Would the procedures and phraseolgy be that much different (e.g. "clear to land")
Where would I live
Cost of living
VISA, how to get one and if its permanent?
Whether I'd get on with people
Would I live the lifestyle?
Would the pay be good, taking into account the extra costs of living over there (health insurance et al)
*ok, so it may have been a little more than 20 seconds but I'm very interested to see where this thread goes.
One nudge & I'm there!
*& for any USA HR people, Im ADI (tower instrument) and APP (approach procedural) rated with a met obs certifcate, GSOH & completely lovely & available for start immediately. lol
