Hi,
it looks like the Application is "closed" for the majority of foreign ATCOs'
"Please only apply to this vacancy if you are an Australian or New Zealand citizen or hold permanent residency in Australia and have been previously employed as an operational Air Traffic Controller within the last three years."
is this definitive or does anybody have a different version/experience?
thanks

Note, not many International persons last very long before departing.

*"sciolist"... Noun, archaic. "a person who pretends to be knowledgeable and well informed".
Plazbot is neither knowledgeable nor well informed.

but I guess that maybe since the ad is more than a year odl things have changed during the course of events....

Rubbish.
These were 'proper' internationals as well not those who may have a spouse who wanted to return home or similar who may have additional ties to keep them in the job. Pretty ordinary strike rate in my opinion. Mostly due to the extreme stupidity of sector assignment versus skill sets. I would say that developing one of the Country specific conversion courses from scratch makes me pretty informed on the subject.
Did they make you an ALM Missy?
Of the six hired in my centre while I was working, 4 have since left.

Hi Plaz,
We've still got a couple of overseas hires in Oz.
Hunter - American with us since the 80s
Byron - the canadian loves living in Oz
UAS(E) - one swedish controller (mind you she was an engineer when she came out to Oz)
Tops/Outback - one yarpie
That's just off the top of my head.
Hey Plaz, when are you coming back to aisle 1?

If you applying you will be replacing the aussies that now and or are about to start would in ME or Euro.
I don't think there are many Os at the moment that would ever consider going back. That's how bad it is.
When is the all grey day roster comming?
GreyGreyGreyGreyGreyOffOffGreyGreyGreyGreyGreyOffOff.
That way they can call you 2 hours before you are needed. I don't think there is anything stopping them from doing this as well.

300 grand a year....tell him he's dreaming.
Plaz, I'll approve your leave, I do admin for Tops. I'll call you up on your days off, but you still don't have to come in. We could just chat on the phone instead.
