Medical Requirements
My son is expressing an interest in becoming a civilian ATCO (mustn't like my nice blue uniform!) and I would like to know whether the medical requirements for new entrants have restrictions for those with diabetes. Is there a catch-all standard or is each case taken on its merits?
Any help, either as a reply here or by private message would be appreciated.

He'll have to pass a Class 1 medical at Gatwick - the Diabetes may cause problems.
The best thing to do is ring the medical dept - numbers available under medical at http://www.srg.caa.co.uk . You'll find them extremely helpful.

He is obviously unaware of the cushy life you have and of all the time you get off whilst wearing that blue suit of yours (or was that benefits of being IC Rosters?)!!

Chilli,
Thanks for that, we'll definitely give them a ring and put any useful gen here in case anyone else is affected.
Rej,
Time off is spelt 'T-I-M-F-E-O-F-F' . What do you mean, there's no eff in time off? Oh yes, that's right after all! Mind you, roll on February!
Cheers!
