Jersey Jobs
Have heard through the grapevine that one of their ATCO's has resigned - anyone know why? How did their latest recruitment campaign go? From what I hear it's not a very nice place to work these days - shame as it's in a nice part of the world

A Lithuanian & a Hungarian have turned up for an interview!!! Not many takers from the UK I suppose. What licences have they come with - CAA ones I hope - perhaps someone in Jersey can tell us

It's nice, sometimes, for a short holiday.
As a place to live and work, it's the last bastion in Europe of feudalism and cronyism; a two-tier society where the very wealthy incomers despise the local Jersey-born-and-bred, a place where everything operates on the "it's who you know, not what you know, nudge nudge" principle, a place ruled by a few families in great secrecy, a place where massive abuse in a children's home over several decades was known to everyone and no-one and even now they are trying to cover it up, a place where many sane people start screaming after 24 hours incarceration on the island because they can't take the smug complacency any more, a place that can't understand that the UK has higher priorities than keeping Jersey people happy.
The average age of all tourists to Jersey is well over 55; the average age of 80% of them is over 60. The place is becoming a large geriatric concentration camp, as all the "hotels" are converted to old people's homes.
You get booked for driving at over 20mph, unless it's a 15mph area.
In short, it's dire.!

Ooooh!, It's like the holiday program with Judith Chalmers on here nowadays! lol
Capot,
I wouldn't normally make a descision based on one persons review, but to be honest, you're post paints such a colourful picture I can't help but believe every word you say! lol.
All of my preconceptions about the place rang true in each sentance you wrote. Capot, you may well have just saved my sanity. Thank you.

They don't have enough time to answer. Thousands and thousands applied this spring so they had to use all available resources to examine so many applications.

Another resignation!! Shame, it used to be a fantastic place to work till the jobs worth boys got their feet under the table. Maybe one day the controllers will get back to controlling instead of doing random paperwork & projects!! When are NATS taking over???
Care to be more specific?
