bah bid
It obvious they wont pay the increase until the end of January, because just in case they lose the bid and have to give 3 months notice, they dont want to be paying the money when there was no need.
One would therefore expect they are expecting a bid announcement by the end of October. One could also summise that they have been given insider info that their bid will be the one, thus the early heads up on the rise...guess we will have to wait and see.
as for the pay, seems to me if you are married with school age kids one would be better off on the BAH contract but if single probably better on the UAE one.

have been watching this thread for a while and I am somewhat interested moving to warmer climate and applying for Bahrain so have registered and made my first post for enquiry.
did notice that earlier it was mentioned that DFS and Serco had partnered together, does this mean it will be a Serco contract or a DFS contract if they win it?
what if Airservices Australia wins, has anyone had any dealings with these people to date on what they would offer?
thanks

thankyou mr/ms vercingetorix for your info.
I noticed mr rusty nail post earlier and guess I must pose the question, if Serco have been in the ME for 20 plus years and it appears from this forum have basically made no airspace or other changes in Bahrain or other places for that matter, then why do you think they are the ones to make the changes required?
me thinks they like a dinosaur and will not change, and that change will be brought about by a new contractor. So the comment about the devil you know is bad because they sit on their hands and so nothing.
Has the contract decision been made yet as I would be interested to test the water and get away from the upcoming winter chill.

I doubt that a change in contractor would achieve anything until they got their heads around on how to deal with the fickle locals and neighbours.
Just my 20 fils worth

I take offence at your remarks about my comments which were reiterated by your last post and I quote:
so my comment about the dinosaur hold from my perspective. And either way I dont really care as I only want to work there, whatever the situation. you are right re the new Dubai deal though, Bahrain and so it seems Muscat are the new paupers in the ME.
Moving on can you now tell us who has won the bid or when it will be public.

A few years on it's recommendations seem to be dying a slow death as it's all too much effort to follow through but like I said the new D is trying.

why wont you tell
mr batleur
I will call anyone mr or ms or mrs if I want and no you are not my teacher unless I get job there and you my training officer.
Second, you wont tell probably becuase you dont know, which is most likely or you dont know. just tell all and stop the games.
to other bahrain people, incl mr dances with sheep please be honest with forum and let us in on big secret if there is one.

mr bataluer
again I take very big offence to your rude comments. It seems to me you have very big chip on your shoulder, you are not South African by any chance are you, my friend their tell me South Africans have many big chip on shoulders as they think they are better than others which from where I stand is not case, other way around. Even if you arent South African, you are no better than me and all you do is pick up on my english skills, which I have already assessed at 5.
you are very sad person, and if I come there I will not want you as my training officer, what do you call person like you in english, ah yes dick head
I dont have any relatives by those names you said, so what do you mean then?
mr/ms vercingetorix thankyou muchly for your interesting and informative information.
why are these people so worried about another contractor taking up residence their?

Not really. Just further evidence of the lack of understanding of the situation, from oz, if that's how you read it.
I take it there are people in oz still hoping AsA will get it? (or closer to the mark- believing that AsA were a chance?)

Ferris,
You talk about a "lack of understanding of the situation" and yet you did not (can't or won't?) aid in that understanding. Maybe you can be more helpful in your next post?
Yes there are people hoping ASA will get it, if only because it will get us one step further away from our unappreciative upper management.
Gebber.

So you wait for ASA to hopefully get the contract so you can get away from ASA management
Mate there is an easier way to do that. Resign and come to Bahrain, the UAE, Canada, or if you have an EU passport as of a few days ago Maastricht, and then you are properly rid of ASA management.
