I used to work at Jo-burg together with a few Yugoslavs. They are st hot ATCs now working in Germany. As mentioned on this forum, another one is in the UAE. Dont know any of the new guys there, as it seems I've been away too long.

There are two South Africans working in Switzerland and another is joining up in July. Then there is one in Frankfurt. Out of all these guys, I think I am the only one that's planning on going back to SA one day. Once I have enough dough to pay for a house cash. It wont be in Cape Town though.

As far as working with foreign ATCs goes, you can only learn from them. They might speak a little different but that doesnt do anything to their controlling skills. Over here I am the one that speaks funny

I tend to think that ATNS hired the foreigners because of the severe lack of guys and I wonder if another batch of locals isn't going to leave as soon as they've finished their 5 year contracts.....
