I finally managed to catch up with it at the weekend.
Did I hear it correctly when they said that it cost up to £700k to train a controller or has someone added a decimal point?
As a matter of interest how do you get to be a controller at Heathrow? I spoke to an ATCO a few years ago who said that controllers were posted to units. If you qualified as a radar controller you would probably end up working at Swanwick as most were based there but what happens with tower controllers? Are vacancies advertised with selection boards or is there some other method?
