Who's Happy??

[Charlie Fox]

Simple question. Where is the best and worst place to work?

[expediteoff]

Got to be Heathrow.

Heathrow "retention allowance" in the offing - it's got to be the way ahead

Having worked inside and outside NATS, I have to say the Channel Islands. Good money, 5 min commute, generally better weather than the mainland. Obviously less traffic a/c wise which may or may not appeal but it does have its own challenges. You work to live not live to work here:cool:

[niknak]

We get paid within 10% of NATS rates, a very nice area to live, reasonable management, reasonable rosters, equitable share of early go's and late starts, good equipment and working environment.
More to the point, when we need staff, we don't need to advertise - nuff said:hmm:

[GunkyTom]

NIKNAK sounds very nice, where is it ?

[flowman]

Flow management in Brussels.
Excellent remuneration (daren't say how much), 43 days leave a year, excellent working environment and everybody hates it. So maybe the worst place to work despite all that?
Everyone's on strike at the moment so that has to be a clue!

Any vacancies in the Channel Islands?:rolleyes:

"Retention Allowance"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonder if the exodus of staff to sunnier climes had anything to do with that? I can't see rest of NATS controllers sitting by and watching that one being eased in!!!!!!

[GunkyTom]

FLOWMAN- check pm's and bear in mind low tax when looking at salaries

[I'm not joking sir]

How many of us need to say we're leaving our unit before we get the bung too? We're not at OR and three of us are mulling offers to leave...

[Hold West]

I'm happy - I retired from the FAA on 2/29 and work as an airline dispatch supervisor now, haven't been this happy in a long time!

[porra]

Cape Town the best by far!!

Have worked in Europe and ME - CT takes 1st prize - great management, enough off time, only 1 or 2 not-so-nice colleagues, best city in the world and salary's not too bad either..

[Wee Jock]

I'm very happy, but I'm a domestic engineer now - don't know how I found time to go to work. Missus, four kids and the dog to look after - must go and sort the laundry.
:ok::ok::ok:

Porra,

Is that why external recruitment is only ever advertised for Jo'burg? :)

[porra]

[fisbangwollop]

Costa Ayrshire fine by me......:ok:

[Crapaud]

Hi CF,

Why you asking? Last I heard you were retired. Don't go back!

Just realized - your original post probably wasn't for your benefit.

See you soon...:) :)

[HM79]

I'm at JFK and this place :mad: !!! Less than four years to retire and I can't wait.

[seasaw]

Selling Ice Creams down St Brelades appeals for the summer!!!

[SevernTMA]

I am surprised that this thread is not overwhelmed by folks raving about how great it is to work for NATS!!! I wonder why that should be?;)

[Bright-Ling]

Dry your eyes Brizzle boy.

Amazed that any of you wezzcountry folk even know what a compooooter is.
