Unfortunately the local "managers" do not appreciate or understand the massive increase in traffic numbers, poor equipment and low salaries in the ME.
Those expat's in a position of influence (management) either cant be bothered changing with the times, or (more accurately) do not have the ability to make any changes. Why would they mess with a gaurenteed retirement pay-out by making waves, yes sir may I have another!
Those controllers in AUH, BAH, QTR and DXB need medals and massive salaries, the amoutn that is being offered in todays climate for the work that is being done is insulting.
