Tower vs Area
Hello,
I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times before, however instead of asking who thinks what discipline gives the most job satisfaction, I was wondering how do potential trainee ATCOs decide, if given a choice, which disipline they prefer to undertake? I've visited both tower and area control centres, and can see advantages and drawbacks to both positions. Do most people know instinctively which discipline they prefer or do they just grow and learn to love their job!
Does anyone ever switch between the 2 roles and if so can they give a more unbiased view of which role they prefered.
