(definitely done on a budget)
Any other types of discrimination we should know about before the CV is dispatched into the bin

Don't quite agree kido, I think it was over budgeted
Just to name a few:
- The fact that the two "Approach rooms" were supposed to be boxed in for fire protection purposes.....never happened
- No emergency fire exits in either of the "Approach rooms"
- Lack of decent lighting in the "Approach rooms"
- The useless acoustics in the Approach rooms.....might have well just used normal office partitions rather than building any walls
- The flooring throughout the building looks cheap and nasty
- The aircons are temperamental and have a habit of turning off when it gets too warm
- There are only 4 urinals in the entire building. Should be fun when the building is full of controllers, support staff and other management types at the same time............

You APP guys can always up ship and move to the Sheikh Zayed Center in AD. There is a lot of spare radars, parking and food outlets. The lighting is good, there is emergency exits and a functioning A/C.
We'll even throw in NINE, yes NINE urinals.

Are these just rumours or is it a case of where there is smoke there is fire?

Strong rumours that us OMAA APP controllers will be moving across to the SZC.
Since his departure not sure how the time scale has slipped but would expect it to happen eventually, but not in the immediate future.
Centralised APP/ACC has been the way for the last 20+ yrs but the move back to decentralised APP is starting to gather a small momentum.
Can't really see Dubai giving up any of its' autonomy unless it has more say in procedures, airspace planning, etc. Abu Dhabs perhaps but a big perhaps for the same reasons.

SZC Design
I can confirm that the original design philosophy for the SZC was to accommodate all approaches in UAE as well as the ACC function. How this was to be implemented was never planned, however it was always envisaged to start with the 'lesser' approaches first and build on a 'might is right' principle over time.

Mr. Ron
They best get a plan....they have one approach unit in there now and only matter of time before the others will follow. Just a hunch....
Build it and they will come

GCAA Vs SERCO Packages in Abu Dhabi ACC
Hi Guys,
Any differences in the Serco versus GCAA contracts?
1. Pay
2. Job Security
3. Medical cover
4. Allowances (Housing, Education, Travel, etc.)
5. Bonus
Any Contracts on the horizon for the ACC?
Cheers.....
