Any ATCO Jobs?
Does anyone know of any airfields in the UK looking for controllers. Ideally airfields that have radar!


Cheers

Somewhat of a poison chalice!

There's still a MATS so it's a kind of DSATCO position really.

And you have to put up with the ex-SATCO when the regulator comes a calling.
Poison chalice sounds about right.

If you are referring to who I think you are..... then that person is no longer part of SRG and hasn't been for a while. But then again, there is apparantly another vacancy about to arise in the Northern Constabul.., sorry Regulatory office so who knows? The merry-go-round may stop again.

But no SSR at the moment; I hear negotiations are in hand but the A/D authority may not be able to afford it.
