Sorry to hijack this thread, but....
I too am looking to apply for the NATS positions, and I do have two quick questions.
1) I come from a background in IT. Would this be considered beneficial?
2) Would having a PPL be seen as a bonus, or is quite normal for ATCO's to have this?
I'm sorry if these sorts of questions have been covered before, it's my first time on this board ( I'm a long time wannabees resident!)
cheers
