STANDARD NOISE
Sorry I may have confused you with the way I delivered the previous question.
How likely/common are ATSA's to be offered ATCO training by the company(PEEL, SERCO, (any other names?)) in a non-NATS operated airport? (I'm understanding from reading the threads, in general there is no such thing as ATSA's at NATS operated airports?)
How many years experience would I need as an ATSA before the company would consider me?
Or are there now more qualified ATCO's per vacant posts so they are less likely to train up ATSA's?
I recently done the first stage of NATS recruitment at Prestwick, unfortunately didn't get through (I thought the test had went well for me, and I'm not the arrogant/dillusional type, but was disappointed when the results came back negative.They don't give any feedback so its difficult to tell how far away I was from the standard required). Basically I'm now trying to find the best way into the job as I still reckon I'd be able to do it.
Sorry for all the questions, but any help is greatly appreciated.
