How many italian ATCOs are they recruiting? Could it be 175? (any italian that can answer this?)
175? Impossible.
If I remember correctly 15/20 was the maximum number of ACC controllers ENAV granted to DFS last year so I guess it could be not more than 15/20 people as well (in the official document I read is requested ATC people from ACC only).
... by the way I hope we'll be ZERO italian ATC'os answering to this "strange request"..
suerte
