Dubai – we want you to do more for less – it is what it is

[FWA NATCA]

I've interviewed several times with Serco and been told that I'm highly qualified, but each time I'm told at the end of the interview, "oh you're over 50, we can't hire you."

I have 25 years as an FAA tower and radar approach controller at busy airports, and I've been working the past 3 years since I retired in Afghanistan at the busiest single runway airbase in the world (average over 1000 operations per day), but I'm too old for Serco?

Working within combat zones be it Iraq or Afghanistan isn't all that great, so you can imagine we would readily accept a job in the UAE. Though the money is good, "Quality of life is more important".
