Good to see those chaps getting an increase, but still in terms of bench-marking seems not enough.
Currently at Doha Radar the yearly Salary (even whilst under dual training) is already QR420 000 p.a.
The accommodation allowance is QR300 000 p.a. - (paid / provided by company). In total p.a. - QR720 000

Well Done!!
Congrats for your recent increase in salary Dr.Evil, hope that this justifies your thinking that all controllers are equal and therefore should be paid the same (you are nearly there with these figures keep at it one day you will get there). May this be just the start of many many increases for you over there.
Just one question though, is this blatant publication of figures a recruitment stunt for Abu Dhabi or it has been such a long time coming that you had to show us how much sweeties you are getting to overcome the inferiority complex you might have??
I think your straight demo of salaries on a forum (especially when not called for) is childish and totally unprofessional but hey thats just my opinion.
Well done anyway. Maybe I will apply someday when I will no longer be able to handle the traffic levels over here.

Steady on Falcon, salaries have been openly discussed on many an occasion here, at times resulting in somewhat lengthy threads and moreover in many respects quite usefull for prospective employees of one contractor or the other.
Maintaing 2 ratings deserves recognition and that is what they achieved, stating it on an open forum whether for recruiting purposes or merely for comment is as far as I know, to date, not yet in contravention of the spirit of this forum. If it is I am sure it will be zoned in on rather rapidly by one of the monitors.
I would venture that regular comparisons only serves to strengthen the competitive nature of ATC employment, which by all standards today are run as a business, irrespective of where that may be.

the falcon - to use your words Dr Evil was merely "quoting facts"
Keep looking in the mirror and telling yourself you are your favorite person.
We all work the traffic that comes our way , but some of us do not need keep telling ourselves what great peolple we are. But hey if you need to, to make it through the day. SERCO, worked abroad been there done that.
Just mature enough to realise its courses for horses.

Dr.Evil & all our mates down the Road, well done & congrats on your long overdue payrise! Wish all of you & other colleagues across the globe a similar % payrise.......
Though I must still add 'So Close - but yet so far'......
Mind you, at least you got something which was long overdue, just up the road, next door, we got nothin, even though we had been told verbally that some sort of increase should be coming our way, to reflect the inflation.....
But all we got was - INDISPENSABLE......

Prowler, please, you're supposed to speak English to ICAO level 5 or above, aren't you? Since the same error appears in the Dubai/UAE thread, I believe it is time to put it right.
No one is indispensible. As in, everyone is dispensible.

No wonder the

trafficnotsighted: Are you Dr.Evil's guardian angel? It took you two posts to write your insults which probably explains a bit about how you fail to understand anything.
You probably haven't seen other posts by Dr.Evil or you are so much up his creek that your eyes are probably sealed with c..p.
The facts remain that Dubai is busier so live with it. But hey it must be hard for someone like you coming from a country that provides the creme de la creme of ATCO's to be in Abu Dhabi. Trying to make people look like they have some sort of ego certainly asserts that so stop looking in the mirror yrself mate.
I am sincerely happy with the increase you got and I wish you well. Still putting them on a forum without anyone asking is infantile.
Its like a child showing everyone the christmas present he just got. You must be pretty bored down there

@Scooby Don't
hey mate,
before you dare correct my English, I guess it's better to look at your own English Grammar.....
Secondly, although I have Level 6 by default, I admit that my typing skills are not so shiny......so excuse me if you didn't get the message across! Perhaps it's about time I change my laptop for a bigger keyboard, to avoid any unnecessary replies.....who knows perhaps if we are lucky next year, we might get a pay rise or at least a new laptop......INSH'ALLAH.....
And not to hi-jack this thread, again congrats to our mates down the road in AUH for their pay rise!
Cheers bro's...

I would rather make a spelling error than use the opposite of the word I actually intend to use. I would also rather know the difference between spelling and grammer than be a pure spelling pedant.
Anyhoo, in accord with the general mood, congrats to Abu Dhabi! Just don't blow the lot on speeding fines.

thefalcon- keep digging the hole its getting bigger. Why did you remove a post on this subject, i thought initially you had done so because you realised what a*** you were making of yourself. Your last post shows otherwise..
PS - I give up you are right, "who works the most traffic"
"who earns the most money" "my dads bigger than you dad" etc.
is what matters in life.

To Yahoo!®:
No changes, you still need both ratings for Abu Dhabi (OMAA) but for a smaller Abu Dhabi Airport called Al Bateen (OMAD), which is on the Abu Dhabi Island a TWR rating is enough. Check for contacts on Abu Dhabi Airports Company
