Short Listed
IAA seems to have finally got around to responding to their applications and I am expecting a call from them shortly and then an interview.
I would like to get in touch with someone working at Shannon, so I can get a better idea of how things are at Shannon centre. I need to know if they treat people better or worse than Airservices Australia (badly).
Also, can anyone give me a description of Shannon town, I can't seem to find much information anywhere. Do ATCs live in Shannnon town, or do they choose to live in other nearby towns?

Apparently we are much better and nicer than air services oZ! Way way better.
Generally we are left to do our own thing by which i mean you go in,do the work and go home. The nitty gritty of day to day life is left to each team and watch manager on the day and broadly speaking it works ok.
Every now and again decisions or lack of , made outside the ops rooms and towers impact on how we do our job and the service and level of service we provide or can provide. Hence the wee bit of discussion between ourselves and those we entrust and trust to run the company well.
Things are improving on that front just very very slowly but that will pick up because of all the publicity here (again). Seems its the way we do business now but who cares as long as it works.
To anyone thinking of joining- go for it. Do your homework,dont take any BS in negiotiations and it should all work out well for you.
Shannon,yes you can stay there,hotels,B&B rental houses but nearly all stay in limerick,ennis or out in the countryside somewhere.
Jollyroger good luck overseas....looks like your leaving with a few extra quid in your pocket. Guess you will be able to afford that bucket and spade to play with all that sand after all
Yours as always

More vacancies
2 more vacancies to be filled in Shannon in the past week or so. Where are you all hiding. Does anyone that applied for a permanent position have any info as to what's happening.
In the last 3 months, 3 contract ATCOs in, 3 permanent ATCOs out, more maternity leave to come!
Whats the story?

Of the four people I know that have applied (including myself) one has heard nothing, two have been told they at "short listed" and one has been asked for further information. Meantime we all wait....

Why not call them up in Hawkins house? I rang them(atc related just not about the job) and they were great, a very friendly woman took the call and had plenty of time giving loads of information to me about a future career as an ATCO

itsnotme. I can confirm that Healeypilot is not management. He is however a rather large unit so it would probably pay to stay on his good side.
if anyone has any questions about life and work here just ask on the forum , probably better than to pm. maybe divingduck can help with any questions . he's old ,has no global experience and is Latvian . ok with you duck?
