A good ATSA is worth their weight in gold, a bad one ain't worth a heap of the steaming stuff, fortunately most ATSAs are in the first category and it's a career well worth pursuing.
Don't get too excited about the salary, outwith NATS most regional airports have reduced starting salaries to a pittance, although most offer the opportunity to progress onward with ATCO training schemes if that's what you want. Under current pension rules, only basic pay is included, the extra allowances don't count. 40p per mile is the current limit imposed by HMCR, anything above that attract income tax at the appropriate rate. Just what is going on between Bamboozle and Gonzo, ('er being a lass from the flat lands soon to be going to the sarf coast and 'im being on the selection panel????;):):ooh::E). |

However the big improvement, as DotMac says above, is that there are now numerous ways out of the Ops room, <snip> Also, unlike the days at WD even if you are a sector assistant, the 4th floor listen to your ideas and, shock horror on occasion, even implement them. If you want to get involved there are now many ways you can do so, and that in itself increases job satisfaction enormously. BD |
Well Done Saints

Beady eyed one, how about I watch your back and you watch mine :)

Can anybody give me a rough idea of what you may expect to be paid working as an Air Traffic Control Assistant?
Apologies if this is already on here somewhere, but I cant see it. |
Depends on "Service Provider"......eg NATS.....and "Grade"
AFAIK, none NATS start at circa £15k, and go to £30ish... NATS, ATSA1 [ACPO] £15K [ish] to ATSA4 £45K. Plus overtime... Won't last tho' getting rid of the ATSAs......:{ bb |
Ah, but also the name of the boss of Shell at BOH!:p

too true, it's a common name but it did make me laugh.
