Jors maybe they haven't already tried the recruitment from other places yet in Dubai, but they have been there and done that in the ACC and it didn't work, and as time goes by and the job gets even more difficult here, it gets even more unlikely that the "other" western controllers would rate here. I don't know about Approach and how many failures you have there, but down here we have quite a lot, and so while in your case you may be correct, it won't be happening here in a hurry, otherwise it is just a waste of everybodys time and money cos they just don't validate.
Maybe I should have worded my last post better, and said the bargaining position for an area controller is getting better and better all the time. Sorry.
