Clearly what i know it wrong then. I was aware of plenty of jobs overseas but were talking about jobs locally or even jobs UK wide. I can't see there being enough jobs for all those controllers and staff! Perhaps if you've been in it for 20 years and have built up alot of contacts and someone is willing to make a position for you but i can't see everyone having that same benefit. Plus you would struggle to find 20 big airports to take on controllers that each would have to create a post for (which wasn't advertised).
