Good news!

Tchocky · 10-08-12, 11:48 AM

So this morning I had my practical examination to finish with on-the-job training and get my first ATC licence - and I passed!

It was a fairly busy morning (Monday morning rush hour in and out of Heathrow/Stansted/Frankfurt/Brussels) but it all went well.

Looking forward to looking after you up there

Good news are a luxury these days.

Congratulations and clear skies (and a lot of turbolence for the annoying ones

Congrats!

Something I have a lot of respect for and interest in... and sometimes still wonder if I could do as a career. Too deep into trying to get into my current one to even consider anything else though.

kraznyi_oktjabr · 10-08-12, 01:08 PM

Congrats!

Okay, flying is out of question. How do I get to London?

ATC? Like in Air Traffic Controller? Wowh. You depend on always staying calm. Better don't go online and visit GT while at work, else Boeings and Airbusses may start dogfighting up there...

GoldenRivet · 10-08-12, 02:50 PM

how is the job situation for controllers on that side of the pond? Can you walk right into a job or....

... do you have to line up and wait?

ba dum tshhhhhh

nikimcbee · 10-08-12, 03:03 PM

Congrats

@GR, hey dude, long time, no see. Are you still flyin'?

GoldenRivet · 10-08-12, 06:47 PM

I'm working too much... havnt touched an airplane (intimately anyhow) since February of this year.

Hell i havnt even seen my house since April.

geetrue · 10-08-12, 07:09 PM

That's great news ... not only did you get a job you got a great job doing something you like to do rag nag pilots lol

I wanted to do that, but Reagan fired them all in the 70's.

ATC is very close to what I use to do as a sonarman on submarines except we let the captain worry about what we were going to hit.
