Fox3,

How on earth did you manage to frighten so many people there that you managed to get a mention in post #33 above? Your rep is growing, lad!

ACC visit

Blueskye,

I surrender...now put the firearm down! Would love to come and view the ACC in operation; will need to pick a time when my roster is a little quieter - will be top bid in march so might get some nice gaps - and would like to take you up on your offer. Can we get others in, too, from EK?

Cheers and a happy new year

If a guy in a long shirt asks, say you met picking up Chinese takeout. Whatever you do, don't mention the pprune in the room!!

Yep, certainly don't mention Pprune.

However, on a more upbeat note 'tis rumoured that:
1. The pot bellied Danish cartoon character will be going at the end of his contract (May '11).
2. He has been offered a job in his native Denmark although hard to see what he can offer there as his only Danish ATC qualifications are Twr & APP from the mid '70s.

Perhaps NATS might be in the bidding to advise the GCAA.

Cheers

If the local anti-corruption force doesn't get him first

That would probably be with Integra, a company that already has him on their payroll and has been rewarded with some lucrative contracts with the GCAA.

There was an investigation into some fraudulent financial dealings (read kick backs for getting inflated contracts signed) but the results will probably be shoved under the sofa cushions just like the envelopes of money from roster planning companies were in the recent past.

Hopefully the anti corruption force gets there first.
