I think the salary is fair
The facts are that you'll be based somewhere which is probably as expensive, not to buy a property, but certainly as most of the South of England to live and then be expected to up roots and hold a dual validation to travel at few days notice to exercise the privilages of that (talking of which, I understood that SRG would only approve such dual validations for the purposes of leave relief - up to 6 months doesnt cover that remit).
Recently HIAL were offering salaries in excess of £60k for anyone with all 3 ratings.
This job even with just 2 has got to attract a starting salary of at least £50k (plus the allowances) and no one should accept anything less for the disruption and inconvenience the job would involve.
It seems that the new HIAL Manager ATS is putting his toe in the water to see if any of the dumb fish bite, lets hope there are plenty of crocs, gaitors and pirhanas around to stop him taking the piss.
Hm if NATS don't get the contract, how will the new incumbents be trained?
In the same way that has been done when NATS (or any other provider) have lost a contract anywhere else
The situation at Boscombe Down comes to mind actually; none of the staff of the new contractor reached the required standard on NATS last day despite the efforts of NATS to train them (and at least one of NATS staff signing on with the new contrcator).

ATC jobs have dried up like the economy .
This is such a specialized field that all your years of experience won't get you to a bank teller position for a fifth of the salary.

Yes - we're still here! We desperately need a TWR/APP ATCO for full-time, ideally with Met Obs too.
Get in touch with the unit, PM me or see Safeskys website.

I hear that EGNX have been advertising (closing date has passed), but did not see this on Flight Global Jobs. Is there another website or agency that would usually advertise these jobs or is it simply the case of checking each airport's website?
Since this is a Rumour network, are there any rumoured jobs coming up in the near future? I am currently overseas with ADC and APR ratings and very interested in getting back to Blighty at the earliest opportunity!
