Namibia Aviation shocked by CATCO resignation
Namibia's CATCO who served for more than a decade has resigned from the DCA.
This is the turning point for civil aviation and ATC in Namibia. The glue which held things together has finally given way. Congratulations to the president of NAMATCA (and his likes), who is surely elated by the news. Mission accomplished!!! Well done chaps. And the same to Management for not recognizing the looming thread. The DCA will now have to be very careful with their choice of replacement. Lets wait and see. Just as you thought things couldn't get worse. |
Is it true that the Catco is moving to the sandpit?
|
Very dissappointing indeed....
It was not the right time at all... But hey life goes on. I guess the DCA has to mend its wounds and the clock is ticking...
Any ideas as to what triggered his resignation? |
Bummer, great guy, helped me a lot a couple of years back :ok::ok:
|
Are you talking about Voel?
|
Yes its Voel, he spreading his wings. Check this link Nuwe terugslag vir lugvaart :ok:for his reasons or this NewEra.com.na :ugh:his reasons?
|
He maintained that there are other countries and institutions that are equally qualified to offer training for air traffic controllers, and that Namibia’s candidates should not only be sent to South Africa. That last paragraph translates perfectly into "send us somewhere where we don't actually have to study and can pass the simulator exercises without actually having any skills as air traffic controllers" |
Sounds to me as if those 5 drop outs are looking for an easy ride laced with symapthy:=:= Find 5 candidates more willing to do the job and to learn and send them down to do the course:ok:

Rats
Exactly 1 year ago the rats were leaving the sinking ship. Now the Captain is gone!
P.s. Who is going to fill that chair?:{ HaHa or BLaBLa?:= Ref the president of NAMATCA (and his likes), WC you are wrong there, 4 more to go. |
Eish, I hear that the only two ladies left at the admin section have also resigned:{. This means the admin section will be closed shortly, leaving the rats without anybody taking care of their overtime and salary issues.:sad:
|
The Captain is gone:{ but there are still some rats afloat ;)
Only time will tell now. For the five that skipped the course , there is good news. ATNS Will take you now :ok:(good luck). |
