Nothing like an Australian greeting.who needs Barry Hall?
see you next year in Dublin.:ouch::ok:

Good to be here
 

Hi everybody,

Finally landed in Ireland. Lots of things have been discussed about working here. I would like to put it on record that it is good place to work because here you will be working with really good people. After all money is not everything ( although it is not bad either), you feel being welcomed and are treated with friendly gestures.
Weather may be wet , windy and cold but people are warm.
For those who have offers from IAA, dont hesistate to come.
cheers:ok:

windy and cold but the people are WARM.

I can corroborate after 7 years with them best asset in the IAA are the people working inside. Very good and hard working professionals that keep running the business and the company safely and efficiently. Is definitely a very good company to be working for. I wish I could say the same about the weather cause here is veryveryvery :cool::cool::cool:.

G`day guys!I am considering whether to apply for a job to IAA.Can anyone tell me if there are any vacancies or any recruitment process for ACC/R?And,where do they have ACC?in Dublin?Elsewhere?

Yes, still looking for Controllers at Dublin, not sure about Shannon . Area or Approach ratings preferable. Three Aussies here already. Make your mind up soon though as training plan being prepared for the spring. Best of luck.

Hate to sound pessimistic.....but......
 

Letter from the chief executive in the post..

1st half of national wage agreement(NWA) due since 1st July not to be paid till 31st December.:{

2nd half due 1st Jan 2009 to be postponed till 1st Jan 2010 due to pay freeze for 2009!:uhoh:

However managements pay increase (don't think its covered in the NWA) due since 1st Jan 2008 to only be postponed to 30th June 2008:suspect:

commendably CE waiving 10% during pay freeze.:D

New SCP(8) up for debate.:ugh:

Are they allowed bring in a pay freeze while NWA ongoing?
Didn't they have to brought to court to get the last one?

IAA employees you are the weakest link

And I guarantee the next step will be a new roster......they have been looking at other service providers rosters of late.... because the IAA have a big problem with sick leave and want to see how other units manage it...the reason given was because ATCOS are all going sick so other ATCOS can get a call in and make extra money........
You'll never guess what big mouth eejit they sent to get the information either....probably because he is f..k all use for anything else....and even after demotion still gets a big fat management salary.....

Think you mean ''TURKEY''

Here we go again...........
 

A new thread warranted perhaps?

sorry. i meant .... ''COCK''

Need I Say Anymore?
 

:D

?


Regards,

DFC

By 'COCK' i take it you are also refering to the poster above me too :ok:

need i say anymore :}

To get this thread back on topic, a word of warning for those that are considering joining the IAA as a direct entry, make sure you have a back up plan.

Apparently, the current course in Dublin lost two of its members today and only have 2 left out of the 5 that started.

From what I’ve heard, the course is not impossible just very hard work so if you are on the next course or applying for a position, if you haven’t got experience with busy traffic, be ready to work very hard.

Emergency
 

Hi,
What was the reason of the drop outs? Is the training difficult or they do not need more people. I think it is unfair on part of IAA to first call ATCO and then send them as Nothing:sad:. How is course going on in Shannon? I have heard people are nice there ( pls go up few steps). I am simply confused by what actually IAA is looking for?:ugh:

Where are the union on this issue .Not a word heard since this latest briefing from IAA. Surely as a company in profit they cannot do this without consultation . It galls me to think that we are back in the wars again so soon after the last dispute . Have these people(management) learned nothing . Its time to stand up again and not accept this. Wake up IMPACT . this is what we pay you for .

Ps . Management bonuses are still being paid !!!!!!!

the way i see it
 

What`s the use of calling people,paying all that fees for them and send them back?Don`t think management gets pleasure of that-there must have been some other reasons...:ooh:

The people who have not completed the course have failed because from what I have heard, the course is very demanding.

They have not been sent home, just failed to make the required standard.

As I said, if you have accepted a job in Dublin with the IAA, make sure you are prepared to work hard and have experience with busy traffic.
