This whole "experienced controller" thing is a funny game. Some folk out there in the past have received generous packages to up sticks and move country (including relocation costs, legals paid for first house purchase etc), other have been promised similar and turned up to find they've been outright lied to........sorry, found the "situation has changed somewhat, this is the offer, take it or leave it". I have it on fairly good authority that with one ANS, if one had 15 years Terminal/Approach experience under his/her belt, you "might" get a Terminal sector at your new place of employment, or not.
By the sounds of it, this is kinda the situation Tesox has been put it. The ANS said they will do one thing to obtain his services as a licenced controller, yet to find out that isn't going to be the case.......how many others out there would be pissed off?
Caveat emptor in ATC???
