Firstly there are no vacancies at the moment. Out of the 4 staff members that have left this past year, 2 were for personal reasons not associated with working there, 1 because they had a permanent flying job and the other for various reasons.

Jersey ATCO's currently hold CAA licences and will continue to do so. The problem lies in the fact that Jersey is not part of the EU so at the moment they can't have a european licence as EU law is not applicable.

They don't get a European Subsidy as they are outside of Europe. What they do get is payment for providing a service in a large amount of airspace (on minimal staffing) that no-one else is capable of, and even if they were don't want to go near anyway. It is true that the payments help to keep the airport running but there is nothing wrong with putting that money to good use and providing a much needed link with the outside world.
