They are always short of ATCO's, and even if their reply is "We are fully staffed", they do not live in the real world in management, and will get back to you asking you for an interview.
Changed days at HIAL as they are 'fully staffed' and there are no vacancies. In fact there are more ATCOs than required. Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway and Wick are all one over complement and there is no-one in a desperate rush to leave.

No, I have not applied for an ATCO cadetship either before or since I joined the Company. Too far down the line and too settled now for any career change - ATSA 'til the end.

Yes, it's all true! Finally!
I was very impressed with the set-up - it may be small, but it's professional - I'm looking forward to starting.
Barnaby - thanks for the heads-up.

Congratulations - very pleased for you. Have no regrets at all for what might have been and enjoy your new future.
I will predict that you will look on it as the best thing to have happened - AND you will be at the grass roots of real aviation, not running a sausage machine at an airport where you can't even get out on the airfield.

Thanks all (posted and private messages). I'm glad to hear that it is a Good Thing! I'm only a little concerned that I will probably lose my ADC-I rating (since EGHC has no approach unit, I guess I will only validate the ADC-V rating) but that is really nothing in comparison to losing both ratings and with them any chance of a job! I suppose I can always do an APC should I need to resurrect the ADC-I rating a few years down the line. For now though, ADC-V will do me fine.
