Seems like a Rerun.
Last time the Danish visited SA shores they earned Two Salaries, Lived in Townhouses the above average experiance ATC could not afford, drove a better than average car and had more leave than any SA ATC.
Funny thing is some South African ATC had to give them instruction. Unity was never big in ATNS. No doubt Management will dangle the usual, "Two Week Old Carrot" and someone will bite
. It must be nice to work next to someone from another country, do the same job, have more experiance than them and earn less
.
The once profitable college has been to nothing more than a nursery school. Courses have been cancelled due to lack of instructors and this at a time of Huge ATC Shortage. Students may get sent overseas at a cost that would prabably 5-10 time that of SA courses.
Guild will probably make a half baked attempt at stopping this but expecting them to have a proper legal fight is like expecting The Stormers to win 2010 world cup (Football just aint their Game and besides they are't even doing that well at Rugby)
I know of an ATC that went to Canada and return because people didnt want to train. The 2010 World Cup is your "Calling Card" SA needs staff and they cannot get it without SA ATC Instructors cooperation.
Grow a backbone boys. Refuse to train the overseas controllers until salay packages are equaled. Do you believe that you are less worthy than they are? From this side of the world it is clear that SA controllers can play with the best of them. Stop being a bunch of Complaining Sissies and Man/Woman Up.
