This thread is probably a great recruitment tool for the Middle East control providers....
Thank you wellconcerned, truly, wee need all the bodies that we can get
to all the overworked Aussie controlers out there, here is a copy of our roster...
MMAANNROOO
M= 0630 til 1430
A= 1430 til 2230
N= 2230 til 0630
If I am not mistaken, all three ME countries "big kids" (area controllers) work similar rosters.
They are the best rosters that I have worked in 26 years...(except for the old outstations where we didn't do doggos)
We (UAE control) also get paid overtime, and get time in lieu for working on Public Holidays vice any additional payment (GCAA staff, Serco get more leave guaranteed and don't get the additional PHs)
Your days off are yours...swap a couple of shifts, and you can fly off to just about anywhere in Europe, the subcontinent and Africa. but if you prefer to stay in OZ...turn the phone off!
