On that subject...
I got out of Uni this year, with an engineering degree. I'm not in a position to start flying seriously yet. I'm applying for every engineering job I can find, but I've also got the NATS form on my desk. Given that I want to go through the ATPL's (surely an instant indication of insanity
), is it worth looking at NATS? I wanted to carry on with engineering, as I felt it gave me a financial parachute in the event of airline redundancy, but would NATS offer this too? NATS appears to be good money, but it mentions "18 months training,... salaried" - surely this would be pocket money?
Oh, one other thing - how am I supposed to convince them that I really, really want to be an ATCO? Surely they can see right through that little scam...
