Life on the IOM is great. From the financial point of view, someone who earns £40,000 pa will take home £500 per month more than someone on the same pay in the UK - I know, I transferred here a few years ago.
Agree with Oldboy, from the Pilot's point of view ATC are spot on - there is lots of contact socially between the local pilots and the ATCers - which is good.
Ronaldsway Airport itself, not a bad place to work.
While I'm here...that new taxiway is the biggest waste of money I've seen for some time. We now have acute turns which fling the cabin crew all over the aeroplane during their demos and tyres being worn out at a greater rate than normal, WHAT THE HECK was wrong with the old Northern taxiway. It is interesting to note that when we could still choose whether to use the old or the new, we chose the old, so Mr M put cones across the northern to hide his blushes. That's about the only moan I've got about the place.
Where is Mr M, haven't seen him for a while ?.
