TC is £550 (non-pensionable), where does the £800 come from?

If xinebessa worked in NATS the info would be easily obtainable, I'm just curious why they want to know.

From looking at their posts they are a prospective TATC.

Does the £800 come from the so-called 'Golden AAVA' for iFacts? AAVA(550) +1 day's TOIL (330)......

Yes it does. And anyone who is in the 40% tax bracket must be crazy to take the extra £330 rather than the day off instead.

Band 1 is 350 not 550, I must have been dreaming!

@Roffa

I have been accepted as a trainee atco and am just awaiting the college start date so was just curious

£550-£800 a day overtime sounds awesome until you factor in the 40% tax bracket

However even after tax its nothing to turn your nose up at

Can you only carry out AAVA's in your own allocated airspace that you control in your usual day job?

Thanks all for the info

xinebessa,
Yes.
Allegedly, all you have to do now is pass the CATC course and the validation exams and you're in!

You can only ever work on the sectors you are valid

xinebessa, fair enough.

As has been mentioned though, you've got quite a lot more to worry about for the next little while before potentially getting your sticky mits on your first AAVA (if they're still around by the time you might validate, I think the agreement may well have expired by then).

Best of luck on the path you are about to embark on!
