Five ATCO'S left early last year for various reasons. Two (with radar)were recruited late last year and are undergoing training.
Also,an advert was placed in Flight late last year with a view to recruit two more controllers.Interviews took place but those offered the jobs turned them down as pay and conditions are not up to industry rates.
Two more controllers are starting soon but are not radar rated.
Manchester group promised a pay review last summer, this is still ongoing and hence potential recruits can only be told 'pay and conditions under review'.
Top of scale for a fully qualified controller with several years experience is about 45k. Few potential extra k's for l.c.e etc.
Shifts 6 on 3 off moving to 6 on 4 off when numbers increase.
Clique - maybe, but it is a generally friendly and pleasant unit with often challenging traffic.

If they are short of staff then why do they not advertise?

Bournemouth Staffing
Shortage of ATCO's? Bournemouth?
If the owners of a nearby training establishment were also the ATS provider, wouldn't that make common sense?
OK. I see your point

no wonder controller shortage when you receive no reply to sending in your cv and covering letter, even if it is in the negative!

JB hasn't been manager since last october
only three of the five who left last year have been replaced-all undergoing training,two nearly complete.
three more are to be recruited.
MAG still haven't made a pay offer they promised last april but it is believed to be imminent.
Last M.D. of bournemouth airport was NOT good for the place,badly damaging morale etc.
ATC unit IS a good place to work,largely friendly etc.
