TC.RET- It is nice to hear someone from the most beautiful country. How it is to be an ATCO in Thailand?
letsgetoutofhere- I have been at LSZH ( as a tourist) and I had pleasure to watch the traffic from cafe ( veranda,i think) whole morning. For me it was great pleasure and it seemed that traffic flows fantastically. Is it really so bad in Switzerland?
almost forget- No 3 ELLX- nice and quite operational room , enough traffic and enough money. and you may go all around Europe in days off.

Switzerland
Switzerland as a living place is fine, wages at skyguide are tolerable but well below the ANSP average if you take into account the cost of living (for quite a few working hours more). The pension scheme is good and is what is keeping the expats. The working atmosphere is awful and the company is being taken to court by the Unions due to contract breaching.

Hi,
I think we'll agree to disagree -btw haven't seen the ops at ELLX, but spent almost a year there, at the city-.
Anyway my five cents worth of this: I'd vote for Mallorca -the fact I grew up there may actually help me decide on it's favour but I just haven't seen anywhere better so far (haven't seen all the places out there and this is just my opinion). Good wx all year round, ibiza is just 20min flying away, barcelona 30 min, etc...
cheers,
A.

I can understand your view of Lux as a young singly on your Eurocontrol course. I was in my 30s and had my family with me so saw it from a different perspective.
Back on-thread though, I'd put ELLX Radar right up there.
Adee, meng frenn! Mir wollen bleiben was mir sind!

All but a dream!!!!
Well it would be nice to think about a top 5 but overall i just can't put my mind to it just for the fact well i'll probably never be able to work there.
Stupid rules.....but well if i could go somewhere i would probably wanna try Africa (not South Africa) but the other places where ATC is still growing and learning. I think it would be good to pass on experience to such a beautiful country overall.

That depends on how much experience you can bring into a procedural environment with no working beacons or radios, which makes up a large portion of the continent. If you want to work traffic and radar, go to SA. They could also learn something new but will never admit it!
wanna try Africa (not South Africa)
