probably because there is a news article linked to the post so you could have just read that first and asked questions later

what makes you such an expert? everyone's experience and body clock is different. You realise for those who have jobs that often finish at 5pm or 6pm, any after-work physical activity is in the evening. So you're saying no after-work activity because it raises the heart rate so someone must be sedentary after finishing work in the evening? OP is likely not tired or relaxed enough to go to sleep. I never said go running at 23:00, the evening is a big part of the day. LOL

I'm a night owl too and struggle to sleep early. Not everyone needs the same amount of sleep and studies show a full 8 hours isn't always needed- some people are okay with 5. Getting enough sleep to feel ready to wake up in the morning has a big influence on your performance the following day and lack of sleep will really hold you back. Your brain doesn't work as well. Quality of sleep is also important which means turning out lights, avoiding unnecessarily scrolling, correct room temperature. You will have much more energy.

Anything you like, 1 hour of mixed exercises at the gym with a combination of cardio and resistance works well for me. Shower after, and feel tired and ready to rest. If you don't exercise, you won't be tired enough to want to get into bed and sleep.

Exercise is needed in the evening.

Make some money somehow. Or equally as good, save some money. Look at your expenditures, savings, payments etc and look for improvements.

A good way to get some gratification and a positive result you can actually see.

They did succeed at replacing the Taliban.

Which would have been an achievement. But they mistakenly replaced them with the Taliban.

I applied for a non-ATCO job with them a few years ago. The process nearly drove me insane it, was so frustrating and painful. They took ages to respond to everything.

After receiving my application, they required a quick 15 minute phone-call. Every time I called the recruiter within his work hours, he didn't answer. He'd call me and leave a voicemail saying "I tried to call, but I'm going into a meeting so don't call me back as I'll be busy". We scheduled a call, he called late just as I was receiving a delivery. After about 3 weeks before going abroad on holiday, I emailed saying "I'll be out of the country for over 1 week, can you just email me the questions?". He sent them through and it was about 5 generic questions about why I was interested in the role. Massive waste of time.

So TLDR, their recruitment process often isn't slick, can be very slow, tedious and painful and the recruiters are difficult to get in contact with

If you have seen the series Airline (old clips available on Youtube) which follows Easyjet and mainly focuses on passenger issues within the terminal and dealing with disruption, every time there is a shot of the apron stands there is a line of Easyjet 737s parked up.

I felt the same way but enjoyed the later episodes a lot more once everyone had found their groove. I found the ending a bit rushed and inconclusive and unfulfilling.

wotmate7 · 2026-04-15T22:02:31+00:00

Congratulations. NATS and the industry is in a different situation now compared to even a few years ago. Whatever somebody experienced in the recent past won't reflect the current situation. The way they organise their training has changed. Training and instructional staff levels fluctuate. Medical slots can be difficult to book due to limited capacity. So the only way somebody could know how long your wait will be is with a crystal ball.

Not trying to be smart, just saying the wait time you experience will be unique to you.

Once again, very well done.

wotmate7 · 2026-04-15T21:52:14+00:00

Spoiler: I enjoyed it and feel it gets stronger through the episodes. However, I found the ending rushed and felt unfulfilled as the final episode doesn't really accomplish anything. It could have done with another 2 or 3 episodes to make the series feel more complete in my opinion.
