novice cushie shooter Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Evening, anyone work as an air traffic controller? Looking at a career change but dont know anyone who works as this. Currently work as a production supervisor for a pharma company and feel i need a new challenge.

sandspider Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Ex of mine does it. Pays well, but a lot of responsibility and a lot of training to get there I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yeah looking at the training and salary take a fair hit. Responsibility not an issue as work under pressure just now. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 As I understand it you're not in the chair for your entire shift so factor that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I didn’t think it was the type of job you just decide to go into. I got tested for it when applying for RAF aircrew, bloody hard doing about 10 things at once. Reckon you had to be almost autistic to get it exactly right everytime.
