I was reading an article at LGW today recommending that Ops Controller’s operating a European AOC should be licensed under JAR and comply with the FAA system to avoid confusion…..Bla Bla Bla. The interesting bit was the recommended pay:
Ops Assistant £17k-19k depending on qualification level
Ramp Agent £21-24k
Flight Deck Dispatch £26k +
Operations Controller £28k + depending on amount of A/C on AOC
Apparently this possible ruling brings all European airlines up to the same level allowing staff to move within the same company around the European community and still receive the same pay.
Pay more to get quality trained staff…… interesting concept for ground operations in Europe.
