As for beleiving what you read in the press :-
if it's the scare-mongering stories of daily near misses in the skies above us.........ABSOLUTE B*LLOCKS................we (probably) have the safest skies in the world.
but if its the stories about NATS being on the verge of bankrupcy and probably in the worse heap of do-do it's ever been........BELEIVE IT...........
As for en-route being in a mess, that's not quite correct.............IT'S THE WHOLE ORGANISATION............you just have to thank all those old codgers in the houses of parliament (and the management) for allowing PPP.
If that hasn't put you off i suggest you get your application in
