ATCNoob...thankyou for writing that post because if you hadn't have done, I would have....you've saved me some finger acheage! I agree with you wholeheartedly.
WannabeATCO...you need to have a good hard think about whether you really want this job or not. Whilst you may have the impression that NATS aren't doing a very good job with their 1st Stage in the recruitment process, NATS are particularly good at wheedling out people who are not any good for the job and with an attitude like the one you have at the moment.....need I say anymore?
