Does anyone know the relative likelihood of being posted to Swanwick as opposed to Prestwick if you do area at college? Is it 50/50 or is Swanwick a bigger unit?
Swanwick is a bigger unit (
AFAIK), thats if TMA/approach controllers do area at college - anyone help answer that?
Prestwick will have Manchester centre moving in soon, so increasing size, and then there's an Oceanic/North Atlantic operation from Prestwick too.
Overall I believe Swanwick handles larger airspace than Prestwick, so more manpower/ATCOs working and required there.
But I stand corrected of course by others!
