A bit of advice, please folks.
A bit of advice, please folks. I’m a military controller (!) who has been trying for a while to make the move across into the civil Air Traffic side. I’ve written to a number of units, offering to pay towards my “conversion to the other side.” I’m not after a freebee! Unfortunately, so far I received a totally negative response, (I thought there was meant to be a growing shortage of controllers)!
First off, any suggestions, (clean ones please), from my civi ATC colleagues, on how I might accomplish my goal.
Secondly, I’ve just had an offer from SERCO Canada, to take up employment on the other side of the pond, earning myself an ICAO licence, (how come they recognise my experience, but my own country doesn’t, I’d rather work here!?) Whilst I believe that I can’t use the ICAO licence in this country, I believe that I could use it in Europe? Does anyone know if there are any plans to recognise its use in the UK?
