Unhappy

hi coke i hope you are getting some A levels as i got turned down from NATS as i never had any do if yur just finishing your main education i would hope that you carry on and do some further education as well

Ironically i was told if i got the A levels would be reconsidered but as in 30 in NOV i now have no chance :o(

hope you do well in your carrer regardless of ATC or not

On Another note if you want to start doing ATC now you could visit
WWW.Vatsim-UK.net
we run a simulated ATC and pilot programs for the PC
the ATC use a program called Pro controller and the pilots fly with Microsofts flight simulator. we base ourselfs on real procedures so will put you in good stead.
we also have several members that are real ATC and Pilots to advise us on the right information one of which controls at Heathrow now.
see you soon - you will find me running Birmingham approach most nights
yours
