many a failed promise.. and I still want to work for this company?
Maybe because it's a monopoly
Trust me - it doesn't get much better once you're in. Apart from doing a fairly interesting job and being well paid (for now..if they find a way to get computers to do it, they will. And believe me they are working on it!)
The aviation bubble is running flat and I'm not entirely sure if it's going to pick up in the near future. Probably more likely to dip further before it goes up again.
Historically, pilots were the chosen ones. Over the decades they've gone from rockstar status to glorified bus drivers to being just a cost to airlines!
I see the same happening with ATC. In the past higher demand for air traffic generated shortage of ATCOs and therefore the great working T&Cs we've learned to enjoy. As supply starts to exceed demand (and it's happening) ATCOs will go, just like pilots, from being the star of the show to being a... drain on corporate resources!
Best of luck, lol sorry about the gloomy forecast. I hope I am wrong.
