Pilot to ATCO?

Hi there,

I'm currently an airline pilot flying professionally in the UK. I have to admit the flying bug has waned and I really don't see myself flying for the rest of my life. I'm really attracted to the challenge and opportunities potentially available working on the other side of the radio.

Do many pilots move over to ATC?

Are NATS still recruiting trainee controllers? If successful are you able to choose your area of expertise, i.e radar or tower

Thanks,

DD
