How does the salary in the academy compare to
operational salaries in Germany?

In Finland the salary in the Avia College (Finnish ATC academy)
was somewhat excellent, when compared to local purchasing parity.
(Still using my memory only...)
It was the basic unit salary comparable to the unit where
the ATCO was working plus approx. 1800 euros per month.

So the salary in the Avia College is equal to or greater than
the operational ATCO salaries. And it truly makes sense.
Teaching (OJTI or simulator) is hard work. If it is done
properly and with a professional attitude.

Actually a friend of mine is heading for a consultant work in Britain
from Germany for a hefty 119.000 ₤/yr. So there are salaries
and then there are salaries...
