Some people will always be miserable, same as in any job.
I, personally, have never had any major issue with the IAA.
IF you pass all your initial training, you will be assigned to either Cork for Tower/Approach, Shannon/Ballycasey for Tower/Approach/Area or Dublin for Tower/Approach/Area to attempt your initial unit rating depending on what basic rating you achieved with EPNI in Ballycasey. That varies from class to class and year to year depending on operational requirements. The majority of SCP students end up in Shannon high level in Ballycasey. There is a transfer waiting list based on seniority. You only become eligible for transfer after 5 years with the company.
Most of us like a good whinge (I include myself in that), but it is a great job.
