Relocation once Trained
Hi all,
Just a quick question to all experienced and current ATCO's outthere. I am considering on becoming an ATCO. I am aware that for the initial stages on training you will be based in Bournemouth. Also once you start you will either be pushed towards Aerodome or Area Control. I am originally from Yorkshire and do not have an issue with relocating to Bournemouth temporarily to complete initial training at college. However once done I wanted to move back to the Yorkshire area or even Manchester area. I am aware that Manchester Area Control is shutting in 2010 however could one work at Manchester Airport itself. I am not really keen on relocating too far as I have already been living in Warwickshire for the past 6 years and have just moved back to Yorkshire.
Also is the salary the same for Area Control and Aerodome/Radar once validated.
If any one can answer the above questions then it will be great.
I amm attending the first stage on Monday 30th in London and see what happens from there.
Thanks for any help.
