Several Ozzies have been told that they will receive written offers this week for both Shannon and Dublin.

I had a second interview last week and was given a verbal job offer for a course starting in October.

They are running Area R courses in October and January, I assume if you haven't heard by now that they would be looking at the January course for you and they would be busy arranging the October course.

Keep your head up they will probably get back to you once all the people who are on the October course are organized.

As far as I know at least two Ozzies are not happy with conditions they offer. So I don't think they would be recruited

Which ozzies would they be then?

There is one currently in Shannon and at least one already in Dublin. There is also at least one more probably two or their way to Dublin (me included) and another starts in Shannon in October.

Since I currently work in Australia I think my intel would be a bit better.

accuracy please....

There are two Aussies currently in Shannon, 2 Canadians, and a Kiwi turned up yesterday.

Ab ex Brisbane guy is in Dublin at the moment.

I do know of another Brisbane guy turning up in January, and one from Brizzy that also said no thanks and is considering Germany.

expATCO,

I think the point of my original post has gotten lost. I was saying that if you haven't heard by now then it doesn't mean that you won't be given a place.

It seems that they are organizing the October course first prior to contacting people about the January course.

accuracy please....

Mea Culpa.

The point was there are still Aussies who are keen to go to Ireland because working for ASA is becoming untenable.

There will always be people who are offered and say no, it depends on what your motivation for moving is.

Finally...

Well, there ya go, after months of silence, and one email, I get the shove from IAA HR today...

"Thank you for your application to work as an Air Traffic Controller in the IAA.

Unfortunately, we will not be proceeding further with your application on this occasion.

Thank you for your interest in the position and I wish you well in your controller career."

Could someone tell me what you have to do to get a job with the IAA, (apart from being an Aussie or Kiwi)???...best of luck to you anyway lads and lassies...

Aaargh....25 years radar experience (Military), trained from day 1 on ATM 2000/Thales system, familiar with all the airspace, all the coord procedures...etc etc...

Sorry...but I am fuming......

Ok, no info about it...

I've got a job offer now and have some queries about it.

So can anyone tell anything about health insurance in Ireland? Do IAA pay for it? Cause as far as I know medical services in Ireland are not so cheap...

In case one loses his license after failing some exams what happens then? Do they offer any other vacancies within IAA?
