Tis a shame really. Aside from the security aspect, not to mention the health and safety. Both of which I fully understand the reasons. It would appear, that from the thread I was reading. There is a lot of interest from within for people to see exactly the role you guys play in keeping traffic moving. As mentioned before, when I rang I did ask coming from a 'professional interest' perspective (I'm currently training for my ppl and working my way to hopefully a long and good career as a pilot) as opposed to just a 'jolly' but I have also an interest of the other side of things (atc)
if there is interest from controllers etc and people are showing encouragement, seems like a way of answering many questions that pilots may have regarding the job. Or for those who are thinking of persuing a career in atc
the other thread which I now can't find (doh!!) did have a chap stating that he was more than happy to 'get people in' if there was enough call for it
I'm wondering was this on the terms given to you (ie. He would need to take a day off and show them round himself)
I take it there is no other way of findin out then?
