Short Approach?

Hello all.
The grapes are certainly sour at my present point of employment. Seriously under-staffed and management will do nothing to sort out the mess. Salary is not to good either, with the tax-department eating about 60%.
SO. Any of you guys/girls that have useful information about ATC-vacancies, are more than welcome to contact me on [email protected] and I will spread the word ro relevant parties. Both acc,app and twr controllers ready to leave instantly. The training-level and general standard here at Copenhagen is high, ask any pilot :O
Kind regards

Sorry mate, but you could be describing quite a few centres/ATC units round the world. :\

I know. But I'd rather be seeing the world... And the sun :)

If you fancy snow, darkness, remoteness, and probably even more under-staffed ATC units than EKCH you should consider the northern part of Norway. :)

Check out the new initiative called EURATCO on this website. www.safeskys.co.uk

Look at the page entitled European Common Licence

This is the only recruitment agency dedicated to placing European ATCOs at European Airports. It is managed by current licenced European ATCOs so they understand the profession. It is a new service and is still in the start up phase but it is planned to be the first port of call for ATCOs looking to move when the new ESARR regs are ratified

Good Luck

especially this page http://www.flightglobal.com/jobs/Search.aspx?liJobTypeID=407&liLocationID=&liPositionTypeID=&liJobID=&sKeywords

Airways NZ are (or should be) frequently interested in career controllers. Lot of people going to the UAE recently. It's definitely not the worst company in the world to work for, either. Morale is generally very good at my unit.
You won't get rich quick. $NZ is worth about USD.67. Lifestyle move, really. As for sunshine....we have no ozone. There is adequate sunshine in the summer but it takes 10minutes to burn. http://www.airways.co.nz/careers/vacancy.asp

Excuse my ignorance, but why is Emirates looking for an ATC Instructor? According to that link anyway.

As far as I know 5 German controllers (3 ACC, 2 TWR) were borrowed to Autrocontrol... They΄ll stay there until the end of 2009.

I'd love to move to NZ but my wife thinks it's too far away :( I'm working on it however.
What is a very general salary level in NZ? Back here I make around equivalent of 90.000 $NZ gros a year as an TWR/APP (non-radar)/OJT, 8 y. experience.

Tell her you aren't commuting! Once you're there you're there.
I'm sure you'll find "perogi" and good "piwo"

Cheers

PS. Try South Africa. Big Polish community and I know a Polish controller!
