Blue suits in DAP

NorthSouth

Interesting statement - "DAP who decide these things is full of blue suits anyway, so relax, your interests are secured".

I suggest you do a little more research, because I reckon there are only about half a dozen light blue suits and one dark blue suit in DAP. Yes, there are a number of ex-blue suits, but that is also true of every civil ATC unit as well. Civilians easily outnumber service personnel in DAP and I am not including AUS in the figures.

During my time in DAP it was very difficult to recruit any civil controllers to work there, and NATS had great difficulty in finding anyone who would accept a posting to DAP.

Perhaps if more civil controllers expressed an interest in taking up some of the jobs that do become available, there would be less ex-military ATCOs employed in DAP - the ball is in your court.
