Just to add my 2p..... This is an extremely worthwhile activity for ALL concerned.

It enables both groups to "see the other side of the fence". Indeed apart from the immediate knowledge gains at the time, most participants go on to spread that knowledge through both the pilot and ATC community. A Good Thing

So, please come on down to the Costa del Swanwick, you will learn something to your advantage and you might even enjoy yourself!

I'm another who will vouch for this worthwhile visit to Swanwick. Attended last year and look forward to putting my name down again this season. These are our everyday colleagues yet our respective environments are completely different. It is valuable to be able to bring our perspective to their emergency training - in the long run it's for our own good too.

And further to a previous poster, also think that a few more ATCOs on jump seats would improve mutual understanding.

The present Mrs Frogbound is a controller. I'll be going, it may give me some idea of what she's jabbering on about when she gets home.
