Sharpen Up NAKNIK
The company is called Safeskys not Skysafe.
It has been established for 11 years, it hasn't given up trying, it is probably your best bet for a decent ATC job and hopefully will get there...one day. An ATC company run and managed by ATCOs- now is that a good idea or would you rather have bean counters ?
Safeskys entered a bid against Serco 5 years ago for this contract and went through the same saga which NATS is now going through.
It takes many years and lots of influence to establish relationships in the Middle East. NATS have not acquired that skill or level of contacts/influence yet. Sadly, Serco are safe.
Business in the Middle east is very different from European business you know, or perhaps you don't, Niknak.
