visiting an air traffic control tower
Hi everyone.
I am interested on visitng an air traffic control tower, preferably the one on Edinburgh's airport as it is where i live.
However i am quite lost, i cannot seem to find contact information, i tried contacting NATS but got no answer either.
Anyone could give me a hand please?
You dont need to answer here, you can send me a private if you want.
Thanks a lot on advance
Take care controlers and no controlers take less care! not for nothing but cos u have less resposabily... xDD bad joke !

Option A: u deduced that i wouldnt be a good controller because of a bad joke - Great.
Option B: U answered wth even a worst joke than me - Great.
I should not give explanations about anything but ...English is not my first language ence my jokes will probably be very hard to get for people like you (not judging, just saying).
Now before you say anything else, i would like to ask you to do something,
Try to make an english joke on spanish. and then go to a spanish forum and see what happens.
Just saying, !
Thanks for the phone number.

I remember a time when there was a lot more respect for others in general! In my early ATC days, as an assistant, the controllers were almost Gods....but then that was back in the sixties! Trouble was, as time went on, some of the controllers thought that they were God and treated the assistants like slaves. Funny old world!

Coldwhisp,
just an advice : watch your "humour".
No link with your mother tongue.
Controllers think, eat, drink, breath, sleep, dream ATC.
They've fought their life long to become and stay controllers, get and keep their license.
They ARE controllers !
Trying a joke on responsabilities or professionalism with controllers is more than an insult you slap in their face.
A century ago, could have finished in a blood bath after a pistol-duel at dawn...
Watch your humour !

P.S - The PH lot do like their muffins. Bring a tray, and you'll be off on the right foot.
Sir Herbert, "xD" is a smiley to indicate you're laughing hard - eyes shut with big grin. The extra D is for emphasis - a really big grin.
Like all jokes, they lose something when explained?

As for eating and drinking, lard and ale is essential off duty - muffins and strong tea whilst on duty is a most acceptable proposition.

damn i been away a week and didnt read anything.
What are u thinking of?
why ar eu always so defensive??
My joke meant to say that air controllers have tons of responsability because millions of lifes are on their hands.
Hell u see how YES definetly the language is the problem.
U did not understand me but im sure u didnt try hard enough.
Nothing else to say, my question was answered and i appreciate it.
The rest go and hit ur head with the wall if u had a bad day
Jesus christ.

Don't take it personally my friend.
You get all sorts of folk on these forums, the response you get varies greatly according to the age, experience and the amount the respondant has had to drink!
Best wishes to you in your future career.

If you ever become an AT Controller please tell me which area you are covering, I want to be sure I never fly in that area.
Aunque es verdad que el humor no se traduce, hay normas linguisticas que tienen que ser respetados, por lo menos.
