Attitude and sick leaves. So they say....

31 Dec
 

i heard that the very last day of the year 2008 was some night in Muscat ACC
all airports in UAE got shut down coz of fog,:)
then you can imagine how it became in Muscat airspace:ugh::ugh:

Last Shift of 2008/Contract
 

The last shift of 2008 was coincidentally the last shift of my contract in Muscat.
Thanks to the disruptions caused by the fog, the night passed pretty quickly and I was able to finish in Muscat relatively unscathed.
The last 20 or so months have been an experience and I thank those who have contributed to the pleasant parts of it.
I wish you well in your next assignment.

Hey folks, it´s been awefully quiet here! Are there A N Y news regarding the recruitment process and salary?

"Are there A N Y news regarding the recruitment process and salary?"

From what I gather, an increase has been approved, is on its way and will be announced soon.

If the pending increase does get official approval, are they planning to recruit many controllers?
Also, I believe that the tenders are out for the new ATC system, any ideas as to which systems are being condsidered, and what time frame would be involved to full implementation?

I heard Muscat might be hiring soon. Any news on the salaries? I've been looking for number$, but what I find seems to be a bit dated.
How does the Oman package compare to Bahrain and Abu Dhabi?

Muscat are currently hiring Expat controllers.
Previous applicants on file have been contacted.
A number of staff required immediately, with more to follow.
Positions will be advertised in the usual channels.
Can't mention Salary here except to say it has increased recently.
You will have to acquire and compare packages & living conditions yourself, then make your own decision. It is pointless discussing/debating here as there are too many differing opinions.

Contact info
 

Does anybody here have contact info for the ACC jobs in Muscat, Oman?

Please PM me the info if you have them, would like to check it out...

I am also interested in contact info, please PM me.

Muscat Hiring
 

I have heard through the grapevine that the new package in Muscat is OMR4000 per month (all inclusive).
This is still way below what you can expect in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain & Dubai, where you will probably get more than this as your salary and then accomodation, schooling, medical and flights home, etc on top.

Hi,,,,anyone Could Tell How Much Is Ro4000 In Usd, Thanks

Rials
 

That should make it around 10 400 USD, give or take a little on the going rate...

life in muscat
 

mind you life in Oman (Muscat) is so much cheaper than UAE,bahrain,qatar
in every way(expenses,rents...etc).

Thk U Northern,,,,,,,,,i Have An Offer To Work At Muscat,,,,as I Am From Colombia Center Artcc,,i Will Appreciate If Anyone Can Give A Heads Up Of What Can I Expect,,,,thaks In Advance,,,,first Time In The Forum,,,,,

bocas,we have 2 laitn americans who would help you regarding saving wise and exchange.....etc.
jaws im sorry but life have went cheaper since you left.
salary here is 4000 RO fr expat here and thats is confirmed

Abu Dhabi haven't moved...UAE control moved, Abu Dhabi's turn next :E

Muscat still around 1600 Riyals short of the market going rate unfortunately, it would be the jewel of the Middle East again if they made their package competitive. ;)

Muscat will always be short by a couple of thousands?!
the salary in uae few years ago was around 28000 AED and since then it jumps a thousand every year till it reached what(58000-60000)
we dont have as much oil as you do FSS,you know the whole story with being an authority...etc
just ask around,rents in muscat have gone down and its nothing like last years.
4000 R.O is a good deal and rents dropped and thats a fact.and who ever want to come is most wellcome,And who ever have left it was good knowing you

Well... actually, I've told by a Muscateer that the Landlord's agent demanded an increase in the rent a fortnight ago for renewal of the annual tenancy agreement this month under the pretence of adding another floor to the building. Pay up or move out.

this is exactly why sometimes i dont wanna post anything at all ,on such fourms.coz it make me vomit,there is more destructive comment here more than constructive ones?!:ugh:
my friends,its not a jungle here,we recently had a royal decree restraining any landlords fooling around in rents under any reson,so if there is anyone to be blamed it would be the tenant taking crap from landlords,and instead of obeying blindly every thing told them they should go ahead and complain.we are getting good feedbacks and C.V's and things are pointing to the bright side.
maybe to some people its bad news and to some its good
