I applied via the NATS website the same as all other applicants, I am also lucky enough to mark time at my current salary.

So all 60 year old ATSA's can apply for a cadetship ?
Or 64 year olds in 4 years time ??
A piece of cake then and the answer to all the ATSA job worries, and ATCO recruitment problems.................maybe not.....

To silent handover;

Congrats on your course and all the best with it.

Tell me, have you had any gaurantees re - your current post, ie, will it still be there should you fail, will you go to your current unit if you pass?

I have found nothing but 100% support at unit level, but little or non from NATS itself with the prospect of no job if I failed, or a 'posting somewhere, maybe' at best, succesfully putting me off.

With a settled family to support and a reasonable salary with little responsibility as is, I have decided to stay put. For the moment.

Best of luck to you,

No such reassurance of a job to come back should I not make it, my current job is being got rid of as I leave even, but as a famous man once said 'He who dares wins Rodders'. I don't actually have any T n C's from the company yet but I understand that the agreement is a job at your current grade, not necessarily at your previous unit or at the same point on the scale.

Many thanks, your reassuring style and smile on my interview day made all the difference

That did actually cross my mind when I posted, sorry to hit you with negative vibes.
Go to it though, with the ATSA experience, sure you'll do fine!!

And before anyone jumps in claiming favouritism, no, I didn't personally interview SH, my colleague on the day did. Neither of us knew it was SH, just that it was an ATSA from LGW.
