Is the post actually Senior Air Traffic Control Officer" (SATCO)
That's the job description, however, the SATCO at Oslo is not required to validate in any sectors. (Or hold a valid medical)
But then again, that's the case for SATCOs at many larger ATC units in Norway.
And yes, It's doomed from the get go.
(At least since NATCA is pretty much at war with management nation wide at the moment.......)
