I`m looking for info on ATC in Vanuatu, specifically regarding employment, salaries etc.
Are non nationals employed as ATC ?.

Thanks

You could try Mick Bain Satco at Kirkwall (at least he was there a couple of years ago) He spent a while out there in the 80's.

BigMan...
Many years ago I believe Vanuatu was manned on a 3 year alternating basis by both France and UK. I am not sure if that is the case now. Back then you needed a British (or French, I guess) passport to work there.

Would very much appreciate if you could e-mail me with some info abaout Fujairah...pay, conditions, lifestyle, movements and especially availability of education for young (9 and 13) kids. How long does it take to drive to Abu and Dbx? Is access to those places easy? How long have you been there? What is the Fujairah govt. like to work for?
Where are you from originally.

Much appreciated.

Bigman,

Your request for info has been passed on to Mick Bain.

I understand it's a bit of a basic existance, but take into account the relative life styles and it's probably OK for a couple of years.

Mick once told me that if the locals liked you, you'd be treated like royality - if they didn't, they'd eat you! (A bit like Kirkwall I suppose ).

Mick Bain is alive and well:now Airport Manager Emeritus and looking forward to the pension.

There's one M Bain in Kirkwall but I couldn't confirm that that is the one you're after.
Sorry I can't help more.
Good luck
