Who'd become an ATCO??

Hi there,

I've seen the NATS advertisements in a couple of magazines and on the internet and I am seriously considering submitting an application.

As I'm fully entrenched in a career at the moment, it will be a big decision to up roots (and down salary) to decide to become an ATCO.

Before you ask it is not a spur of the moment decision, I've been interested in Aviation since I was a toddler, and my current career is Aviation based as well.

Anyway the question is.. What is NATS like to work for? In your opinion is being an ATCO a worthwhile career? IS it a career?

I know a couple of Air Traffic people already and I've heard their opinions, but I'm looking to taker a wider poll on the issue.

Any guidance you can offer is much appreciated.

Regards,

C&B
