Serco Contract
 

Apparently Serco has finally signed a contract with the GCAA. Has anybody heard anything, or will people be working on January 1st without any clue of what they're getting paid? :O

10 000 + EUR per month,:cool:
it seems that some ANSPs will face with problems:E

Hope I get the call up soon... Has there been any increase in the accommodation allowance?

Sorry just practicing.......cough sniffle, sorry just blew the dust off my CV. Now where was that ADAC email address....:p

is this valid for dubai ACC as well?

can someone explain what ADAC means?

First Answer, No, all the UAE contracts are independent and Dubai is an Approach Unit not an ACC.

Second Answer: ADAC - Abu Dhabi Airports Company

Abu Dhabi Airports Company

:cool:

so,should I apply for job as ACC atco there would be no chance of getting one in Dubai but only Abu Dhabi right?

That I can't answer, perhaps use the 'shotgun' method and see what response you get. ;)

BIG day tomorrow........or is it!!!!! :hmm::hmm::hmm:

Sorry, guys! Could you help me? I'm looking for a job in UAE as a rated area air traffic controller. Is it possible to find some information about it...contacts for CV...:O Happy New Year !

Question?
 

Anyone know the score for the DXB, AUH Controllers/Engineers and Serco?

Heard things are a bit sticky there and the Serco contract has only a temporary extension.

Any heads up on the "new" Jebli Ali airport project?
 

Hi guys, I was also in a similar quandary to the last gent in this post, I applied for and was interviewed for a Eng post at the new world airport (or what ever its working title now is?) Many months ago and have found a total "black hole" of information surrounding this topic.

(In fairness Serco may not be in a position to reply, but is no news good news?? -- I dunno!

Is any one in a position to say what’s going on with, is the DANS shake up holding thing up,? Is the recession putting a cap on the Airport project? are there enough labourers to finish the jobs? Has there just been "slippage" on the project (I have noticed projected operating dates have gone backwards (towards the future!) since Nov 2007 when the news was the first runway was completed.

It would be nice to know, cheers lads (and ladies)

Payday???
 

Vercing.......I'm surprised you don't know already now!!!

Basically new deal is 51k per month for new starters rising to about 57k for supervisors. Accommodation allowance is taken out of that then......you can have more or less what you want. GCAA are sure to b a little more...we'll have to wait and see. I'm happy, but considering what the airport guys with ADAC are getting, there's sure to be some sour heads. If you've got kids, its still not enough.

From where I came, our ubions told us that 25% pay increases never happen.......mmmm...apparently they do!!!! Happy days.....now back to the beach...:cool:

Site new guy looking for info
 

Anybody who can help,

A co-worker of mine and I are really intrigued about the possibility of applying and working in UAE. I'm trying to get a realistic salary number in US dollars and also if you know the time frame of the process from application to hire. I have read somewhere that they do not accept military experience is that for other countries or the US as well. Would the fact that I am a civilian working at a military facility disqualify me as well?

Don't know how often you check this but I sure hope you can respond and help me out.

Looking forward to corresponding w/you.

Frustrated Controller

Thanks!!!
 

Vercingetorix,

That helps out a bunch since my CTO was issued by the FAA here stateside I should be good to go. Probably looking at applying in a couple of months with that timeline you mentioned that would work out perfectly for things I need to take care of before hopefully getting signed on. So the minimum contract is 3 years? I think I read elsewhere that the leave/vacation authorized is 36 days or so?

More questions to follow and thanks again

Housing Allowance
 

V,

Is the allowance included in that 52K DHS per month package or is there a supplement to assist? Varying estimates on how much it actually costs to get a place. Let's just say I will be a single male not looking for anything overly extravagant but I definitely don't want to live in the "hood" as they say back here. Meaning a dangerous or dirty part of the city. On average how much would that be give or take?

For a one bed apt somewhere that you would wanna live it will be about 150k and for a two bed it will start at 180K. Most of the people that have started within the last year are paying 200 or over for apartments.
Check out dubizzle.com , Cheers TR.

Cheers to you as well
 

Thanks for the info. But that still doesn't let me know if that comes out of a housing stipend or is that something that has to be paid out of pocket from the base salary. Any takers on that one :-)
