Meinhk,
Our pay has increased by about 60% since 1998 in ''The Real world''.
(Minus tax of course)
As for crappy weather then not even this place can match the joys of Tung Chung on black rain day.
I though that tax was high in ''Real World" OZ,as well as pay being lower.
As for slagging ABZ.Well it does 123000 movement per annum.That concentrated into 16 hours.2 controllers in the tower,2 on radar at most.All movements have to be integrated on the main runway.
HK well about twice as busy,but over 24hours.2 runways available for about 16 hours.About 10 controllers on the airport side.Well go and figure there's not a lot in it.As usual you ain't got your facts straight.
