At the risk of being accused of advertising in this weeks Flight Int. Belfast City are lokking for controllers. Any takers? Now form an orderly queue!

"lokking for atco's", did the union rep ask for that in the last T&C's meeting. 
Mind you, it would be nice to have a third of the workload for the same shiny shekels. Unless you're a Sup in which case it's "name your price", isn't it??

Tell you what TR, I might be tempted, the chairs here don't half hurt your bum on nights. And I don't get a fry on a Sunday morning! Still, at least the trouble'n'strife recognises me now!
But you never know, I might just call my good buddy Stevie P over at HR.
PS I hear you've got a nice short form to fill in after you've trained a new monkey for 20 minutes, speaking of which, give the chimp a banana on me.

Decent enough considering it's not too busy. But unless BCA management have had a change of heart, which is highly unlikely, there is a clause in the contract which states that "employees will work reasonable overtime within the needs of the business" (do excuse me if I've got a word or two wrong there, but that's the general jist of things). All of which means that you can't really refuse to stay for late evening extensions which can be a bit of a pain where your private life is concerned.
Still, they're a great bunch of guys (in ATC) to work with and I had a grand time working there, I mean, how many places are there in our game where you can go to work and read 5 or 6 papers on a Sunday morning and pack down an Ulster fry fit for two (lovingly cooked by the Badger) without being bothered by pilots!?

ViaLL, unfortunately its not the money that is the important part. If two of you`re mates asked you to drive their cars to Nice who`s would you chose, the one that offered you £1000 to deliver his Porsche 911 turbo or the one who scraped together £1200 to drop off his Austin Allegro? Thought so!!
Standard , by the time you`ve filled in the boxes you`ve forgotten why you were filling them in in the first place!

TR - I take it the training bonus isn't worth it any more then. Still, look on the bright side, you'll be able to sue for repetitive strain injury soon!
Hang on a minute, Porsches....Nice.... you ARE getting paid too much TR!!!

Now Standard, You know we could never replace you! The main reason being we got rid of all the chairs that said " max weight three persons" !! Only jokin big man. It`s almost six years since we employed a fully rated Atco and we`ve taken on eight in that time.

And soon you'll have another to replace. Oh dear, maybe the reputation of the bad airport management and dreadful treatment of staff have got round on the grapevine, I do often wonder how these things happen in this day and age.
