Why is it that I have to work with the blokes I work with, when obviously there are so many charming ATC boys out there!
I am actually just curious as to what it is like in other places.... and I like Russian beer.

It shouldn't be hard to get a job here if you have your ATC licence and... if you know Polish
And by the way... I didn't know that Russians make good beer ;-)

Clicker,
Not sure if the chardonnay has hijacked the sense of humour but you gave me a good giggle. (no smilie to facilitate the giggle)
It was actually a serious question (beer aside) thanks radian!

The Czech controllers are employed by the goverment http://www.ans.cz.
They are pretty good paid (about 10 times "industrial worker" salary, so if you compare livingcosts to salary they probably are "on top" in Europe) and have 5-6 weeks holiday + 2 weeks paid spa threatment every year as well
I work there sometimes as instructor in their school, which are holding an exelent standard of education http://tc.ans.cz/index_ls_en.htm
And ofcourse...the most important....They have the best beer in the world

not to talk about the ATC girls that work in serbia montenegro towers..8 hours work could become more enjoyable
.Working in Serbia? Great money. Bad manegement. Occasionally interesting work. I guess it's a standard situation all over Europe.
P.S. It is Serbia alone now. Finally!!!
P.P.S. Salary is around 14-15 times average salary in the country.

Perhaps a bad idea to mention beer around controllers????
Not that Australia doesn't have excellent beer (VB being the exception) however working/living o/s gives something the opportunity to sample the delights of other countries. The Czech Rep has some very very nice beer too.
Back to the work questions.
How hard is the language barrier to overcome? Presumably you need to be fluent?
