Yeah my last post didn' quite come out as it was meant to- far too agressive.
There does seem to be a lot of of negativety on these threads about being an ATCO- is this perceived or true?
i always thought ATC was much more close knit than it is coming across, with mostly contented staff, and a job which is interesting, varied challenging in equal measure, along with pay that fairly reflects the undoubted skills and job stressed that an ATCO faces.
is this no longer the reality? or have i always had rose tinted spectacles?
