Calm down mate it wasn't an "area is better than approach" argument. It was purely down to supply versus demand. Right now for area the well has run pretty dry, and when they have tried to recruit area controllers from "new" places it has pretty much failed. The point I was making wasn't any kind of slur against Approach controllers, just in response to jors troolie's comment about finding new places to get controllers from, I was saying it hasn't worked in the ACC, and as such maybe our bargaining position is better. Maybe not, but chill out.

For real, a very very reliable source has said that they can't afford to lose any more staff, so this will be a very substantial raise in the 25% ball park. Again, don't quote me, but it's the latest figure being thrown around, and includes housing!

Question:
Why did so many controllers from "new" locations fail? What's the problem,are they stupid,illiterate
...or is there a problem with instructors and OJT?
I've heard about unsuccessful candidates from Malaysia ,but I've also heard that couple of guys from SE Europe passed...
Can somebody please enlighten me?
Thanks

Dubai : Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and Approach ! No Malaysians
Abu Dhabi:...................,................and Area Control ! Failed Malaysians!
This is where they seperate the men from the boys! Also the real money earners in the UAE!

what about tax
hey J T
your forgot about the possible 10-20% income tax they look like imposing around 2008, how will that affect you lot there?
do you think Serco will increase your pay again to take account of that or maybe if you get that now, that is why they are giving it to you? I suggest a few of the guys may uproot and leave if that were to happen!
cheers

There seems to other rumours on the Middle East forum about proposed Income Tax.2008 is only 12 months away,or 15 and a bit months for the UK tax system.
What about stealth taxes on petrol,property,VAT etc? Also if you are a UK national don't you still have to pay class 3 National Insurance?
The cold wind of heavier taxation might be spreading up the Gulf sooner than you think.
One of the threads said that Emirates would not increase wages to offset any proposed Income Tax.

sorry for the thread creep, but if there is a going to be income tax here....byyyeee
I won't be putting up with deadly roads, being a 2nd class citizen (resident) and bloody income tax....I am not panicking yet introducing income tax or any tax system isn't an overnight proposition it took the Russians years to get theirs up and running. As well I don't think the nearly half a million local emiratis will be too happy about paying income tax and only 7000 of them being eligible to vote for less than half of the seats in the FNC (pseudo parliament)
By then I should be back home on the dole ......or.....Kiwi maybe

Well...
Supposedly word from the Front Office came down today that the contract is all signed and a big 8% raise this year and another 8% raise last year, and our phone allowance gets a 100% raise to 30 dhs (about $8 US) per month. That makes up for the 25% a year inflation!!!
At least some Portuguese guy won the "How low will our raise be?" pool. He's RICH now!!!

Wowzers, from Afghanistan to Abu Dhabi, won't be too hard a transition....the only real difference will be that our taxi drivers don't carry AK's, well not in the front seat anyway!
PM me for details on the UAE scene, happy to help.
