DFS-Germany Direct Entry Atco-Info please

Hi All,
In flight international Dfs have placed an add looking for direct entry controllers with area or approach ratings. The jobs are advertised as permanent full time with a start date as soon as possible!

To any Dfs contollers out there or anyone else with solid information i have a number of questions. If for whatever reason you dont feel like posting in an open forum with your replies feel free to PM me.

1) Any idea of the experince required or is the bog standard 5 years they are all looking for?

2) Where are the area and approach centers located and what are the chances of being stationed in each one?

3) What are the medical requirements-class 2 or class 3?

4) Pay-What is the minimum and maximum a DFs controller earns?
-How many points on the pay scale and is there a career
progreesion?
- Average pay for a 10 year experienced area/app
-How is the pay structured-basic/bonus/overtime etc?

5) Annual leave entitlements-number of days per year/time in leiu for public holidays etc?

6) Duties and rosters-How many on/off days and night duties?

And finally-how is the industrial relations side of things? Are any newcomers going to land into a middle of union/management fight any time soon. How do the Dfs guys feel about the newcomers?

As you have guessed im interested! Can i thank you all in advance
