Hey everyone.
I'm thinking of giving ATC a go, I think I would really enjoy it. but I have a few questions.
1. From what I have read from this thread, management seems to be really poor, but can someone explain why that is??
2. If management is as bad as everyone here is saying, what upsides are there to the job if your willing to put up with poor management? So what im asking is why do you like/love your job??
3. I have a PPL, does that make the start of the course any easier study wise? or does it not really make any difference??
4. There is a lot of posts saying tower is really good, but I want to know what enroute is like?? Any guys/gals here do it and really like it?? I thought it sounded really interesting.
5. A few people here are saying to get down and check out a tower/center, but I called up airsevices the other day to try and get a visit to melb center/tower to talk to some controllers, but I was told they don't do that. The best they could offer me was a spot in the GA information night next month because I'm a pilot. Anyone here had any luck getting to visit melb tower/center??
Hopefully you guys can answer some of my questions.
Thanks.
