Vacancies...huh!!!...what vacancies.

Well put "irishatco". However, as a recently signed up forum member with a particular interest in this topic, I have some questions for you.

If there is a real need for direct entry ATCOs, why is the union making it so hard to agree a contract for them? Surely it's members will benefit from the extra staff....sooner is better than later. no?

I was told that there were several vacancies in EIDW, for all sectors, is this true?

Why would any currently employed ATCO, apply for a 2-3 year contract, joining at the lowest point of the pay scale? (Not very tempting!)

Since submittimg my CV last October, all I have is an ack. email!!! I am slowly losing interest...

Whaddya think???

Regards,

Sylvester
