ACC

I'm guessing by the lack of response that there aren't many ACC guys on the forum? Like others, I would be interested in more info about the working conditions at the ACC and if they are hiring in the near future?

Anybody?

On the contrary, I'm sure there are plenty of ACC people watching this forum!

Hello colleagues,

Firstly, thanks to everybody contributing to this debate, and especially the ME guys for some "inside" info from the work in dunes.

I would like to ask if there is anyone here from other parts of ME, not Dubai or Abu Dhabi. For example Oman or Bahrain.

Some up-to-date info about their (your) ACC units (not just APP and TWR) would be great. What are the working conditions, technology used (paper strips, e-strips, strip-less), traffic volume, etc...

Anything first-hand from you guys would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Be good!

Cool ATCS at LaGuardia ATCT, New York

Hi guys, first, thanks for all the posts, I learned a bunch reading your posts over the years. I'm an ATCS at LaGuardia Airport in New York, have been one for about 4 years and am seriously considering a career in Dubai. I did as much research as I could and came up with very little... I tried emailing quite a few places and most of the time get a generic "mail not delivered" message.

Can anyone please guide me as to where I could get some legit information, or where to send my CV, I would really appreciate it, and if any of you ever visit the NYC area, definitely drop me a line and I can set something up if you want to visit the tower or anything. : )

Thanks again!

Happy New year to you all!! Was wondering if anyone can help me? Recently applied to GAL for a couple of vacancies advertised on their website (I say recently was nearly 2 months ago!!) Anyhow, had no response to applications or to any follow ups I have sent to them. Does anyone out there have a contact??? I am constantly hearing of ex RAF assistants leaving to work with them but cant seem to track down a contact!! Please help!!

I know 3 ex-RAF controllers working for them and there is a fistful of ex-Navy but I don't know any ex-AATC or Flight Ops Assts.

There definitely is assistants out there, friends of a few mil people I work with just now, but struggling to get any sort of named contact. They even advertised on their website which I applied for but with no response!! Very frustrating!

GAL applications

ddtonti,
I applied to 5 vacancies on the GAL website back in July 2011. I received a email response in September 2011 for one vacancy that led to a phone interview, etc.. I finally received a "rejection" email on one other last week, almost 4 months after applying! They seem to work slow.

What is frustrating with the GAL application process is that they only allow you to apply for 5 jobs at a time. And it is difficult figuring which job is which when you get a rejection.

As of late there wasn't any ATCO jobs posted.

Sawhn172,

You're already so disillusioned with the glorious FAA after 4 years that you want to pack it in & move to Dubai?

It usually takes a few more years than that. We must be doing something wrong!

Abu Dhabi

If somebody working in Dubaļ or Abu Dhabi (APP or ACC) can contact me on my private box.... I know Abu Dhabi is looking for ACC ATCO and would like to have some more info on salary, house allowance etc....
I'll be in DXB in a few days on holydays and would like to visit Dubaļ ATC (App, TWR) and Abu Dhabi to see if I can fit in.
Thanks
