GENTLEMEN

I would like to bring it to your attention that SATCO stands for Student Air Traffic Controller and not Senior,but I would like to thank you for the info provided.

Sorry, but it doesn't. ;)

You'll find us studes are called SATC's.

A SATCO is something altogether different, and resides at the other end of the pay-scale.

Now where did I put my MATS Part 1, it must be in the glossary....

I'm with the Dog - it is definitely "Senior ATCO"

scrummer,

If you look at the pay scales you will see what a SATCO gets paid. If thats what a student gets paid at the college, I'd like to go back and train again.

OK, I'm a fully fledged SATCO and I'm definitely NOT a student!

Dunx, eat three Shredded Wheat daily and you will grow up in to a fine SATCO!

It's Senior and we're not all of the male species, Scrummer.

Hmmmm
I always thought SATCO stood for Simulated Air Traffic Control as in www.satco.org (http://www.satco.org)
