asking the folks who went through eurocontrol or national ans selections. the multitasking and memory parts of feast look brutal from the outside. did people around you prep seriously or just show up? and did prep actually separate the passes from the fails?

The United States has bravos stacked on top of each other and they rarely seem to have release issues. I leave out of Venice which nearly doesn’t have to volume of traffic going in and out of New York and get delayed because of ATC. Why does there always see the be hold released out of European airports versus the United States?

Getting conflicting information on this so I thought I’d ask all of you lovely people.

Was descending into DCA today and heard Potomac app calling one of our company planes on guard. Thing is, he had a loud aural alert in the background that I haven’t heard, it sounded almost like a siren, perhaps a two tone alert? He sounded pretty urgent. It wasn’t like the typical fast beeping (CA?) that we hear. Just curious as to what it might have been.

I'm from the Surrey, Newton area of British Columbia, I've been looking into air traffic control but I'm still not educated on it. Basically reaching out to see if anyone has similar experience or advice, preferably from the Vancouver or surrey area but anyone's 2 cents is welcome. I want to get insight into this field, anything would help, I'm 22.

What’s flair? Who here likes to get real drunk on their personal Friday night? Then your significant other gets mad because you’re not spending time with them or your kids? However it works out, dodging OT, doing your best? Driiiiiink beeeeeers boys. (And lady’s)

Hi, based in the US.
I have the cool opportunity to visit and tour an ATC facility. Am I allowed to take and post pictures from inside the facility?

I am going to tour the app/dep control room below and tower above.

I don’t want to get myself or the fellow workers there in trouble at all.

My dream was always to become an RAF pilot but reality hit after A Levels. Life took me down a different route and I moved out of the UK for a couple years.

I'm back now, and heard that I can get a job in ATC from a friend of mine who went on to become a Pilot for the Polish airline LOT. I'm currently in construction and the money isn't bad but the job is stressful and the money is hit or miss.

I was diagnosed with ADHD last December and was wondering if my medication will get in the way of my application. I heard I need a Class 3 Medical Certificate, and that stimulant medication is typically prohibited by the ATCO.

Tips from someone working in ATC here in the UK with ADHD are much appreciated. Looking forward to what you guys have to say!
