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???
