Genuinely heartbroken reading this. I too am in the same position - now 30, rejected once from NATS, and only provider is now Global ATS as ATC training at Resource Training is now defunct. All I here is that Self funding is a waste and I'll never get a job. Too old for Eurocontrol and DFS....
Surely there must be some other opportunities?
Having found my dream job I can't have the boat completely????
