I don't see any problem with Diving Duck posting his experiences on this thread what so ever. If anything it exposes the pureness of the topic as he is an ex OZ ATC who if I recall correctly has worked OZ, ME, Canada and now Ireland (not in that order). OZ ATC can't keep those who already have a job here let alone attract appropriate new blood.
I myself won a gig in Canada but the awesomeness that is Australia (real life) saw me knock it back and just go to work to get my pay packet and no more. There are many many like me. Not only is there an issue with those leaving but many who 'back in the day' would be stepping up and progressing the profession/business just don't care anymore. Shame really. Disengaged? Man, I am the Enterprise at warp factor minus 10000.
