Goatgruff-I want to do tower work, but after talking to a family friend in ATC he said you dont really get much choice, if they think you would be better at area control, you will end up there? is this true?
Excel- I dont believe those stories of regular near-misses, however one alledgedly "senior" ATCo said that the whole System over Britain was due to collapse within the next 3 years, just about the time i would be completing my training and starting out for real.
As for Eurocontrol at Maastricht, i feel that a lack of Language skills (altho i got a "B" grade at GCSE in french, i can barely string a sentance together in that language, and are hopeless at any other language ) would be a hinderance, perhaps learning some new languages would help?
Thanks for taking the time to reply peple, i really appreciate it.
