Before NATS got the contract, we had a controller at Farnborough who resigned from NATS for a job in Gib, (can't remember if it was SERCo or Airwork) then when NATS got the contract, they re-employed him! NB: Not sure but I think you need a PAR endorsement for APS at Gib. |

How many movements a day at GIB? About 10?

I have always thought of Gib as the Wick of the Mediterranean! Maybe HIAL should look into taking it over. :-)

At Farnborough, we often got people who had been 'streamed' to Area Radar (NERL) originally, got chopped and were offered a post in NSL at an aerodrome. Course they only had an ADV/ADI rating so then (when and if they gained a C of C in the tower) they had to be sent on an APS course.
NATS (as far as I know) never 'chopped' a student in recent years (since about 1995) without giving them a second chance, even if it was just to offer them an ATSA post. Different in the ATCO Cadet days, you never got a second chance; if you had been a assistant prior to getting an ATCO Cadet course, you were usually offered your old job back but if you were direct entry, you were usually chopped completely even if you had got one rating and that's where IAL (nowadays SERCO) and others got a lot of their controllers. |

That's out of date and incorrect information.
OK you post the correct info then. |

I can think of at least 8 people I know personally that got "chopped" with no second chance or alternative offer. (2008 onwards). Most at college stage but some at unit training too.

Yes - it is a Rating Endorsement

As I don't know / CBA where to look, a serious Q: Is 'SRA' an APS 'bolt-on endorsement' these days?
|
CAP 744 page 10 onwards describes all the fun “bolt on’s” ( licence endorsements ) you can add to a Radar rating.

On a point of order, Serco is written thus - not as SERCO or even SERCo. Though it was better when it was spelled as IAL.

They were advertising for radar controllers on the airport website but I think it might have closed now. Worth contacting them anyway as I’ve heard they’ve lost 5 ATCOS in the last 6 months with another 3 on top working notice. Not sure that means it’s a great place to go at the moment but if you and they are desperate you never know.
