Jobs at the City
 
At the risk of being accused of advertising in this weeks Flight Int. Belfast City are lokking for controllers. Any takers? Now form an orderly queue!

As the expression goes, "... and your point is..?"

"lokking for atco's", did the union rep ask for that in the last T&C's meeting. ;)

Mind you, it would be nice to have a third of the workload for the same shiny shekels. Unless you're a Sup in which case it's "name your price", isn't it??:E :ok:

Standard ,
maybe you should apply . There have been some massive improvements since you left . Well, we`ve had three new chairs , a cloud base recorder and ...... er....did I mention the new chairs!!

Standard Noise 7th Jul 2004 18:03

Tell you what TR, I might be tempted, the chairs here don't half hurt your bum on nights. And I don't get a fry on a Sunday morning! Still, at least the trouble'n'strife recognises me now!;)

But you never know, I might just call my good buddy Stevie P over at HR.

PS I hear you've got a nice short form to fill in after you've trained a new monkey for 20 minutes, speaking of which, give the chimp a banana on me.:ok:

Now the important part whats the money like??:O :O :O

Standard Noise 8th Jul 2004 09:01

Decent enough considering it's not too busy. But unless BCA management have had a change of heart, which is highly unlikely, there is a clause in the contract which states that "employees will work reasonable overtime within the needs of the business" (do excuse me if I've got a word or two wrong there, but that's the general jist of things). All of which means that you can't really refuse to stay for late evening extensions which can be a bit of a pain where your private life is concerned.

Still, they're a great bunch of guys (in ATC) to work with and I had a grand time working there, I mean, how many places are there in our game where you can go to work and read 5 or 6 papers on a Sunday morning and pack down an Ulster fry fit for two (lovingly cooked by the Badger) without being bothered by pilots!?:ok:

ViaLL, unfortunately its not the money that is the important part. If two of you`re mates asked you to drive their cars to Nice who`s would you chose, the one that offered you £1000 to deliver his Porsche 911 turbo or the one who scraped together £1200 to drop off his Austin Allegro? Thought so!!
Standard , by the time you`ve filled in the boxes you`ve forgotten why you were filling them in in the first place!

Standard Noise 10th Jul 2004 14:51

TR - I take it the training bonus isn't worth it any more then. Still, look on the bright side, you'll be able to sue for repetitive strain injury soon!

Hang on a minute, Porsches....Nice.... you ARE getting paid too much TR!!!;)

surface wind 14th Jul 2004 08:34

TR, at least the training will be easy ...... DUFFY 3, isn't it!!!!! :p :p

Tower Ranger 14th Jul 2004 18:14

SW Not at all. The days of Duffy three for a whole shift have long gone!! Well almost!!

eastern wiseguy 14th Jul 2004 18:46

I haven't gone away you know!!:E

Caledonian 14th Jul 2004 19:25

surface wind 16th Jul 2004 10:30

Ah Eastern Wiseguy, we all know who you are now......didn't Gerry Adams say that a while back:ok: :ok:

Hope you're keeping well.....

SW

eastern wiseguy 16th Jul 2004 12:19

Tower Ranger 29th Aug 2004 14:23

And the lucky winner is................ erm...............
Well, nobody actually!
It seems nobody wants to come work with us, can`t think why. Did I not mention we got three new chairs this year(well, new to us) and just this week a new table(newish)!!

Standard Noise 31st Aug 2004 16:36

Well TR, it must be official, I'm irreplaceable!:} :ok: :}

Tower Ranger 1st Sep 2004 21:13

Now Standard, You know we could never replace you! The main reason being we got rid of all the chairs that said " max weight three persons" !! Only jokin big man. It`s almost six years since we employed a fully rated Atco and we`ve taken on eight in that time.

Standard Noise 2nd Sep 2004 07:20

And soon you'll have another to replace. Oh dear, maybe the reputation of the bad airport management and dreadful treatment of staff have got round on the grapevine, I do often wonder how these things happen in this day and age.:ok: :E
