Fujairah atc
 

Hi everybody, I'm working in Fujairah atc and we are looking for 2 more controllers with TWR, APP and APC rating. If anybody is interested or request additional infos please PM me for detals.Thanks

I'm not interested but had to look up where you are, the UAE.

BD

he is asking for a controller, not an office monkey.

Oook oook ook! Sorry but I was (and still am, like Doctors ya don't lose the qualification ;)) an ATCO. Besides I was just, oook ook ook interested in where the place was as I'd never heard of it :)

BD

Interested and sent pm. Thanks.

Fujairah ATC
 

Approach control - You have a PM from me also.

Where is Fujairah
 

Fujairah is in the UAE , aproximately 130 km from Dubai. on the East coast, on Indian ocean.

Hey BD.

If you are an ATCO, what sectors do you do at Swanwick then?
Solitaire on your desktop doesnt count!

I bet you tell everyone in the pub your an ATCO.... in reality your about as much as a current ATCO as Erics Mum.

Fujairah, remember it well, a 3000+ metre runway, ILS, with approach over the sea, get through abut 500 ft on final and you have to land - there is little scope for a go-around as the runway is nicely aligned up a wadi with high hills either side, and an even bigger one at the end.

Very prone to land breezes in the warmer months which produces an off shore very strong wing, try taking off away from the hills with a 20+ KTS tailwind. Tried it once on a non AOC flight, never again!

Rumour that the Sheikh has realised that he's been ripped off over years by a series of highly paid consultants, with no significant scheduled services in the 20+ years that the airport has been in operation (wonder why?) and is now thinking about building a new airport, but not up a wadi!

Best of luck guys, see you again when the new airport is built

Last ticket was in LJAO at WD, then I 'retired' and was an instructor (civil) at Swanwick for AC OCT.
LOL! Touched a nerve? :) Did I say I was current? By profession I'm an ATCO, when you retire you'll still be one.

BD

No I wont.

If you are not valid you are not a controller. when i retire i will be a pensioner. if either state or nats pension exists by then that is

Last time I went to FUJ the arrivals board showed 3 arrivals and 4 departures for the day and the apron was full of the sort of Russian A/C that you hope you`ll never have to fly on. It is only my opinion from an outsiders point of view but it looks too quiet to be much fun to work at.

I`m with Eric, if you ain`t valid or ain`t controllin you can`t really say that you`re a controller. Of Course if you`re a manager you can say whatever you want as long as you believe it and it makes you feel better.

Just as a friendly warning to all considering applying to Fujairah, do your research before you sign any contracts, quite a few of the western controllers have left Fujairah the past couple of years for other units in the area

Whats the monthly salary? terms and conditions?

BDiONU

In my opinion you're not an ATCO unless you've held a civil validation, which just as I always thought you never have. LJAO just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.

I've just found my LegoLand Driving Licence from when i was about 10. I have never done it since, so surely i must be a LegoLand Formula 1 driver by profession.
My OPs manager hasnt controlled aircraft in years... she doesnt call herself an ATCO, she calls herself a manager.

I think you are clutching at straws with this one BD. But if it helps you sleep at night, you keep calling yourself an ATCO. Just dont do it too loudly when there are real ATCO's in earshot eh?

Its quite clear from my profile, I've never tried to pretend I'm anything other than what I am. So what are military (or even ex-military) controllers, in your opinion of course?


BD

But unless she's a PCG she'll still be an ATCO ;)
LOL! Bless! You and I have never met but I'm certain we'd gain each others respect if we did.

Cheers
BD

New Human Resources Manager has just started at Fujairah so contracts not a problem.

PM me or "approach control" for ATC package details.

Movement figures for 2008 are nearly 100% more than 2007 so no longer a quiet place!

far be it from me to spring to bd's defence, sorry have to admit i'm not always a fan of what you say, but an atco is an atco . he took on the same responsibility as us when he wore a headset, that of keeping the a/c apart. he may not have been working as many as us, but he still had to make sure that the ones he was working didnt bang into each other or us. to say that an atco isnt an atco until they have held a civil licence doesnt play well with me, but you are fully entitled to your opinion, as is bd.
now may i suggest that the thread returns to its suggested title?

I'd suggest a visit before signing anything, FUJ is about 5 to 10 years down the road from Dubai........ which can be a good thing too in my opinion. If you like your diving then loads of opportunities on some great sites up and down the east coast. Not meaning to belittle the place but would make a great place to coast towards retirement........way too many years left at the coalface for me though :sad:

Got a decent radar yet?

Whats the cost of living like out there? Are houses bought/rented?

I am interested please PM additional information:ok:

eastern wiseguy - cost of living is much less than Dubai or Abu Dhabi, meal out at a restaurant for two should be 100AED or less. Housing is rented, not available to be bought as yet. 60,000AED per year should get you a nice 2 bedroom apartment (much larger floor space than the Dubai options)

Best thing is biggest traffic jam takes about 5minutes to clear - and the only reason you had to stop was because the traffic lights went red!!!

kavi / abu - pm sent

Interested... PM Sent.

great place to live and work
 

So laid back it is untrue, some great new housing being built.

If you must to to the bright lights, then Dubai is perhaps 1hr away.

Excellent value for money, and nice people, still very basic, and as such relaxing.

Propert is only for rent, to the best of my knowledge, one or two DXB agents carry listing, bet plan is to go to the East Coast, and check out the building, moble numbers displayed.

Not just a retirement home, but also a practical commute to Dubai Airport.

RAK airport is also 1hr away.

Housing
 

Itswindyout.

Check your Pms.

what's it like for a family with young kids?:ok:

Family 'n' kids
 

Dunno yet. I've got 3 young sproglets so I'll let you know when I get there. :)

To the idiots - youngsters - once an ATC - always an ATC - nobody is talkin currency.

BD - good 4:u:ugh:

Fujairah
 

Three ATCOs at present all have young families - the UAE is very child friendly and cheap - we may need to start our own creche soon! ;)

Pm me with any specific questions you may have "Left290"

Interested
 

I am retiring from the FAA in May '09. I have 32 years of air traffic experience, ranging from moderate to busy facilities. I have been an academy instructor, and am currently a supervisor. I'm looking for a new adventure. Give me some details...please.:rolleyes:
