Belgocontrol hiring process...
Hey Folks,
I was wondering if any of you had sent the application form to Belgocontrol for the ATC position...
Did you already had any news from Belgo ? Any date for the selection process ?
It was supposed to happen in the beginning of March 2010 but with the opening of CANAC 2, I heard they will need all their instructor to form the experienced controller for the CANAC2 and so they will maybe delayed the formation of the new ATC...
If any of you have reliable info...
Cheers,
See yaaaa

Sorry to go off topic here but I was wondering whether or not Belgocontrol requires applicants to speak french or is it enough only knowing how to speak english? I've asked this question a few times before but I only seem to get different answers...
Cheers

It is not a requirement I think but it helps alot.
Myself I was not offered a job, although I was top of the list, but belonged to the wrong language group...pitty politics, as always in Belgium.

I read the at the requirements section @ the homepage of Belgocontrol that the psycho-interview is in Dutch or French language so I guess you have to be able to speak one of those...
Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

They don't really speak about any languages requirements at first but if you look at the selection process program on their website you can see that french speaker successful candidate will be send to either EBBR/EBCI/EBLG and that the dutch speaker will be working either in EBBR/EBOS/EBAW...
So I guess that you need at least one of the Belgian language...
Still no news for the selection phase ?

Anyone news on the current situation of Belgo Control?
Apparently they are on the edge of Bankruptcy?
Following articles in lots of newspapers?
Is this true?

What are the options?

Greetings

they´ve already started the selection process this week, until end of March.
I´ve been told they´ll send a post letter to the selected ones.
Didn´t know about the bankruptcy problems, does anybody know about them??

The fundamental problem with regards to the financing of Belgocontrol is an agreement that basically forces Belgocontrol to provide services to the regional airports for free.
There is a type of cross-subsidising going on between enroute and regional airports.
E.g.: the service given to Ryanair at EBCI is paid for by charges on the enroute traffic.
This type of financing is no longer allowed by the EU so a solution needs to be found (will the regional airports pay their way or not?)
Another problem is the request from the federal government some time ago to contribute 10 million € to the federal budget.
Contributing factor is a politically appointed CEO.

Please answer if anyone who pass the first test is reading this thread
Many Thanks,
Sorin

Anywone who is working in Belgocontrol can say about the life in organization?

EBBU,
Because Eurocontrol is seen as a regulator and regulators and service providers should be separate to avoid a conflict of interests!
Also with single european sky there are a number of issues - there will apparently be an agreement in November which will decide Maastricht's future.
Besides Maastricht has always been a thorn in the side of HQ in Brussels - even though we are the only "profit" making part of the company

Did anyone receive an answer of Belgocontrol concerning FEAST1 yet.
I believe we should be receiving these this week.
I hope we receive our answer and invitation in time as I need to be able to get a day off at my work.

millerman,
The controversy of Eurocontrol being regulator and provider has been going on for years and nothing really happened. It seemed to me that there was not enough political interest to change the current situation.
SES will bring about a lot of changes. It seems to me that many smaller providers will have an 'exciting' year. In FABEC, a closer cooperation between Eurocontrol, LVNL and Belgocontrol would have been advisable. Maybe it's not too late...
And as for the 'love' between ops and the other services... I know what you mean
