Quick question to all ATCO colleauges around the world......
Today the leadership in Avinor (Norways sole ATC provider) decided (in their wisdom) to hire Per Christian Haraldsen as new SATCO at Oslo ATCC.
Not breaking news as such, but the guy is, and has never been an air traffic controller! (
) A beancounter with background as HR director in some Norwegian non-aviation companies.
This is a first in Norway, and the NCAA has signalled that they might not validate him. (Totally new situation for them as well)
Anyone worked with a SATCO with no aviation or ATC background??????
The colleauges at Oslo have my condolances
(The situation is complicated with the fact that no ATCO's at Oslo today i willing to work as management, and that he's gonna have a hard time finding any deputys or even advisors)
