So what's the problem here then?
What is so bad about the Airport (no aeroplanes, no money, no future) that no-one wants to take a job there. Or is the problem with Peel. Can't say they appear to have done too good a job at selling the place
Offers turned down, only 50% current staff staying, looks like they're in trouble.
What happens on the 1st of February when Serco are booted out. There's not much time left for MER is there?

Oh Yeh! Oh Yeh!
Latest I hear is that Peel are having real trouble recruiting anyone of reasonable quality.
There's a possibility of another ad coming out....and still that January deadline looms <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Oh dear, is there no-one interested in what's going on at poor little old Sheffield <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
Still no joy recruiting staff, even Safeskys have been contacted. Can you believe it <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> .
I believe we can expect another ad before the end of this month.
And still that deadline draws ever closer. Oh deary me
.
Is that the sound of a barrel being scraped??? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

From a previous thread it seems they are having trouble staffing their one and only unit at the moment. What makes you think they can staff another one? All the best for the future anyway.

You've gotta laugh , they've only gone and asked Serco if they can help out for a month or so. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
Talk about losing face. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
It's even got so bad, they're ringing guys who wrote to Liverpool with cv's two years ago.

During Oct/Nov and Dec of last year, there were reportadly 1002 non air transport movements and 328 air transport movements at Sheffield. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
Granted, the vast majority of the non A/T were probably the Police helicopter based there, but still.
As for instrument training, there were something in the region of 80 for the same period.
Doesn't pay the bills does it? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the info Legs 11. Those figure sound dire, and from what I hear when I'm flying in the area I think the police helicopter must account for virtually all the non-AT movements. My quick calculation shows that the short licenced grass strips 8nm to the SE at Netherthorpe average more in a day than Sheffield does in a week. If you ignore the helicopter movements (they don't need a runway after all) then Netherthorpe has as many movements in a day as Sheffield has in a month!
What does it all mean?

Does anyone know if anyone responded to the latest advert?. ."Part time, part qualified, will someone please come and work for us?" . .Why not dispense with the offers of training, put the salary up to a sensible level of around £35K and I'm sure someone would be interested.. .How about it Legs / Chilli ? <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> . .If %50 of the remaining staff did apply to Bristol, it doesn't look good does it?

Sheffield would get a lot more GA movements if they allowed single-engine a/c. Even a modest landing fee would help, wouldn't it? But then would they justify a full ATC service, or would AFISOs be all that was required??

Well, well.
Did 50% apply to Bristol? - that would be news to me.
As for the AFISO's well that's already being thought of apparently.
I am tol that there has been a little interest in the new advert from the usual NATS rejects looking for a way in - student ADC licence but no validation.
Today was the last day of serco provision, no doubt downhill from now on <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Hi,
Are Sheffield really considering taking on FISOs??? If they are does anyone think it would be worthwhile getting in a CV now? Does anyone think they'd take on part time staff?
