You wouldn’t believe the number of people who tell me at interview that aviation’s in their blood, it’s all they ever wanted to do, etc. etc., but can show me no evidence of that. :rolleyes:

Yep, that seems to be a very regular occurance with people. How can we actually prove it though? I could take a photo of my bedroom full of plane posters.. 😉

£20k, huh. Might as well kill me.

Well, that really depends on you, doesn’t it? I interview plenty of 18-20 year olds who would love to move away from home! Yes, you could end up working and living at the other end of the country. Whether you like it or not is up to you! If you really do feel you have to work close to home, then perhaps another career is better for you.

Well I’d prefer to work at closer airports (EMA, MAN, LBA) but I’d happily work elsewhere if it means I can get the job I want.

To apply for NATS, you need to have undertaken a course of study equivalent to A-Levels. Note, course of study, not passed. Previous aviation experience (as an assistant) would possibly negate the need for the above.

Yep, that’s what I’m doing right now, a BTEC National. Don’t have any experience though. Quick question, would it be advisable to start off in despatch/airside then apply for NATS? Applying straight away after leaving college sure is a big step for me.

He mentioned that if you go straight to NATS they may send you to any airport, and you won’t like it at all if you don’t live close to the airport or never been to the area, eg EDI/GLA.

He also said by being an assistant, you’ll get to experience the ATC environment first hand, whereas at NATS you’ll be learning mostly.

We asked him what qualificatins we need, and he said apply for ATC assistant, and if you get that position that’s all you’ll need. I wondered about A Levels and if her had any, he said he had a good few but they didn’t really come in handy.

Speaking of ATC careers, I never knew a license was required. I’m 18 this month, so I might apply for them. How many do I need, and what are they? Thanks. 🙂

Think you’re late 😉

Oh crappety crap!

Nah, I’ll send one anyway, purely speculative. 😮

Actually, there’s a listing on the LBA website for this position, should I apply for it considering I dont have much employment history and I’m 17 (turn 18 on 22nd). Below is the link for it. 🙂

On the same kind of note…

Would anyone happen to have any information on Air Traffic Control assistants? Got to talk to a controller today, albeit one at a dead airport in Sheffield, and he said he got into his role being an assistant to a controller at Robin Hood and the airport sent him to NATS, and he then had to show what he learnt by displaying it at the airport.

That is very intriguing, and would love to do that. I don’t really want to go straight to NATS, because of the disadvantages that were told by the controller. He said all I have to do is phone up an airport and ask for this opportunity availablility, but would rather ask for a bit of advice first. If anyonr has any, please say so, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! 🙂

You need something that will get you out. Try ringing the airport and see if you can work with the marshaller or something, stuff that doesn’t mean you have to stay in and possibly joey around making cup of tea’s.

Seriously doubt they’d give an airside job for work experience.

I contacted LBA when I was about to do mine, and they said I was too young (16) to work at an airport.
