BMIne,
You're right but if you read what I said it was that at present being a NATS ATCO is as close you can get nowadays to a job for life-if that is what you want and if it is then you have to be prepared to move if required. Many have left over the years but a fair few have returned as well as the grass isn't always greener!
I wish everyone at MACC the best of luck whichever route they take.
