getting back to the orignial question:
1. think about £14k initially (then it goes to £16 - 18k [after college], then £21-25K [post validation till three year point] then main scale ATCO depending on unit your posted to.
2. Benefits - not many to be honest except O/T (no jump seats etc unless its off your own back)
3. O/T as NATS are short staffed there is plenty of O/T
4. Shares ain't many going about, although you may get some if they offer another option.
5. Social is going to the pub after shift!
BUT this is all dependant on 1. Passing the college....2 Validation.
To be honest Cantona was harsh in what they said but an awful lot of that is true.
