DFC, I'm going to be nice to you on this post!
That would be nice - well paid retirement job doing diddly helping staff an already overstaffed position.
Nothing like the IAA to put people where they are most needed!!!
2 points here.
1) Said person in tower is Tower rated elsewhere, so quickest route to go live is to revalidate on a current rating, wouldn't you think?
2) The people are needed everywhere.This Tower body will free up a Multi-rated ATCO, to provide ATS with their other ratings in the busy UACC/ACC.
The Union have not decided who the IAA employ, the IAA have.
No truth in the rumour that direct entries will simply fill positions so that incumbents can be "promoted" then
I'm not sure what promotions you mean. We have a direct progression here on the ATCO scale. Promotions to another grade are not dependant on ATCOs being brought in to replace anyone
Are there promotions coming up, and if so, where?
Kindest regards,
Your buddy
