No chance...

Now that the horse has bolted, so to speak, I think we can kiss goodbye to any chance of a job, 'till this mess is sorted...

The IAA can't say they didn't see this coming...

Good luck to the Unions in their endeavours...

Would'nt say that rocky. Would say that if anything you'll be getting a phone call sooner rather than later.

By all accounts Shannon have rowed in behind. Don't know about Cork.

Dublin will hit them on the airwaves, Shannon in their pockets! Interesting times.

Rocky even the Irish news is reporting that the IAA have stated that they are recruiting experienced controllers in the coming months so don't despair yet.
Ironic though as earlier they had released a statment to say they were not short staffed........

Nothing ironic about it...its a bearfaced lie..in one sentence they say "no staff shortage" but to expect possible delays..if they have adaquate atco numbers then why the reason for delays/flow control...pr stunt form the IAA
