Onion,
"The aiport is never going to attract controllers when their top controllers are struggling to make £55000 yet Inverness were advertising for controllers to start on £62000."
...and your point is?
Apply and move to fantastic part of the country; granted house prices are a lot steeper in the Inverness/Nairn/Black Isle area than around DTV but the area more than makes up for it.
Not only INV but as part of the HIAL group you can join the team that do secondments at other HIAL airports. KOI, LSI, WIC and more...
Not to mention free perscriptions, free further education etc etc. and all the other Scottish perks.
..or could it be...
That there is prejudice against an ex NCL SATCO being the top ATC man in HIAL be stopping people from DTV from applying?
Go North young man, go North!
