Air Trafficking down under?
Hey Guys
Any ATCOs down under who've also been ATCOs in the UK about? I'm looking for a comparison of the whole standard-of-living thing, not just straight salaries. I've got two small children, the eldest of which (6yrs) has some learning difficulties & we're considering making the big leap. We were out for 3 weeks fairly recently & had a thoroughly good time staying with friends on the west coast, although obviously it's not the same as living there.
Note: I am NOT asking about permanent residency etc for joining ASA!
I would be interested however in your experiences of working for them, and whether you can request a particular base (in my case, the ideal would be BNE).
Cheers!
