Surely if you are a Heathrow ATCO you would not have to pay that?
It's an initial Medical, HD; I'm not an ATCO just yet! NATS only pay for initial Medicals but nothing to cover any additional costs during this initial phase. 'EGLL' refers to my nearest major Airport, not my occupational base unfortunately!
Received news from my GP today that I would be looking at a three month wait, should I go down the NHS route. Would like to get things moving as soon as possible though, so I may have to end up forking out the money and return to the CAA. Given the fact that I need to get my certificate within twelve months of my conditional job offer, would encourage me to get things done quickly, so it looks to be the expensive route after all.
