What's the matter Prascho?
Have you not received your marching orders yet?
That's very strange. After all, you are the "supreme" controller from that international benchmark of ATC - Sofia!
I would have thought that DGMAN would be banging on your door to get you to solve all their problems for them!?
Bizarre!

Seems some1 else knows my name....it's not a secret but, Farrell i didn't expect from your side
What i found out in my e-mail:
If you are considering Abu Dhabi definitely see if you can get in there – the pay is better, the ACC is new, you could be working for a company run by Europeans (Serco). A number of people have moved from Muscat to Abu Dhabi, but I would try to go there direct – that will save you the hassles of Muscat.
Good luck guys and c u soon
It's your turn ATCO1962

prascho,
I can only think of one Abu Dhabi bound Muscat controller recently but I may be wrong because I'm usually the last to know. From what I'm told, it hasn't been a smooth entry so far and the UAE has their own set of problems.
Muscat, regardless of its pay rate, still remains the jewel of the Gulf, IMHO.
Will we be seeing you soon?

Jewel in the Crown
Muscat is without doubt the jewel in the crown of the Middle East.
Great place, loads of history, heaps to do, the friendliest people in the Middle East bar none.
Prascho old bean...if they don't want you, suck it up, if you decide to try UAE...take your best game with you because you will need to be on the top of your game every time you plug in.
cheers...before you get all huffy...I have actually worked in both places and fairly recently too, so I do speak with some experience in the matter.

M8 calm down. Read all my post about Muscat and u will find out that I have never been sure that I want to be an ATCO in Oman, and second ... r u sure that I failed !?!?Failed in what? The problem is far far away from will or won’t I join your team in Oman and I'm not going to discuss about that.
All my colleagues from Bulgaria r very good professionals and u have to be happy if they join your team and it doesn't mean that others controllers r not. Europe is more advanced and it's a fact.
To be an ATCO every1 of us must be unique..I am and u r.
I’ve never told that Oman sucks, just that have to be more realistic about the reality ....that's all

The Winter is so beautiful here:
Good night!

No chance I will forget my toothbrush. Wife is a dental hygienist. I'll bring mints too. Just sent DGCAM an e-mail with a proposed arrival April 19-24 if they have room then. See you soon.

Well.....
The heat is starting to rise over here.
Got caught out in Bammah and Fins last week and ended up sitting at home peeling the skin off my ears....nice!
AC went on last night for the first time in about four months.
Car read 40C when I got into it yesterday to leave the TC - won't be long now before it reads over 50.
Here we go again.

Arriving April 23. Looking forward to it. Any recommendation on housing? Just 2 of us, preferrably near work & furnished with 2 parking spaces. Is the "Wave" a possibility?

"Is the "Wave" a possibility?"
Mwahahahah! If you want to pay over the odds for rent - yes it is.
However, you may also have to sleep with a life-vest on.
Better to get yourself a villa in Mawaleh which you should be able to sort out for 600 rats a month maximum.
Do not listen to the hype about the Wave. Even the people who bought there are starting to come out with their own BS about the finishing being just fine and "normal for a new apartment".
Nothing like watching people curbing the "I told you so".
Personally, I will give the Wave another year before people get sick of:
1. The stench of the Red Tide for longer periods every year.
2. General noise from the F-16s, Jags and Hawks practicing run and breaks.
3. Ford Mustang and Hummer driving kids coming in to ogle your teenage daughters.
4. Cracking, peeling and bleaching of the "western paint style" exterior.
5. People having picnics and on the grass outside your house and using the play area, even though they don't actually live in the Wave or know anyone who does.
6. Constant construction noise on the other phases. (which residents who are already in denial say doesn't bother them - because that is what you pay 1000 rats a month for isn't it?! Dust and noise!)
There are two security posts at the gates to the Wave. They are unmanned - and always have been.
But, as the lying scumbags at the estate agents will tell you with a wobble of their head - "They vill be starting in the coming veeks, sir, no problem."
Stay out the Wave it is nothing like the brochures show!

Even from here in the US there are some poor reviews getting thru on the "Wave." If you have any good contact(s) for me when I arrive, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
