Any guy from Spain in Nats?
Hello, IŽm starting the course of NATS this summer and IŽd like to know if thereŽs anyone from Spain to help me out before I get there.
Also IŽd like to know for sharing house and get information about the course.
Thank you very much.

Hiya Tosta,
You should have been sent details of how to access the Departure Lounge bit of the NATS website - quite a few people on the summer course (220) are already starting to sort out house sharing on there. There's also a facebook group - NATS 220 - join that and you can get in touch with some people on your own course... no other Spanish people I think, but everyone's very friendly!

When I first started in this crazy game I worked at a civil ACC and dealt with traffic at a nearby USAF base. I had to learn the routine phraseology "Contact GCA on stud 4 or manual 385.4" My supervisor assured me it was because the GCA man was Spanish. Only took me 3 years to realise he was pulling my leg!!!!!

<<I can't imagine any Spanish controllers wanting to work here. They get paid handsomely with, I believe, a 100% pension to age 75!!!>>
The tests in Spain are much much harder. I'm talking about people studying years to try to pass them and still a huge failure rate.
