So...you wanna come work for the GCAA at the SZC?...think again!
Not to be a bore....BUT....
...if you're thinking of joining the wonderful ATCO's at the GCAA...probably best to stay where you are for now.
If you have family in tow, you will need approx 150k Dhs (30,000euro) in your back pocket to start off.
NO Housing allowance advanced,
NO Schooling
NO Flight home
Health Insurance changes at a whim leaving you having to pay straight up before waiting 2 months to get re-imbursed
Rent Cap removed in Abu Dhabi allowing landlords to charge whatever they want for rent
...and now barely any leave.
Moral is the lowest its been in a while
Deputy Supervisors castigated for doing their job and when they say they don't want to do the thankless, unpaid work their not contracted to do, you get shafted.
They've recently adjusted the leave policy but assured that this does not change ATCO entitlement but if you have ideas about other positions your fairly screwed. Apparently some guys at the top have had their leave slashed in half.
Will be interesting to see some guys go back home soon. We're quickly being priced out of the market here. Leave it to the rich and famous.
