Each to their own, however the salary range quoted is easily achievable in England for ADC/APP alone, so why go to the nether regions to do the same thing for "preferably APS as well" (allowances or not)?

The facts are that you'll be based somewhere which is probably as expensive, not to buy a property, but certainly as most of the South of England to live and then be expected to up roots and hold a dual validation to travel at few days notice to exercise the privilages of that (talking of which, I understood that SRG would only approve such dual validations for the purposes of leave relief - up to 6 months doesnt cover that remit).

Recently HIAL were offering salaries in excess of £60k for anyone with all 3 ratings.
This job even with just 2 has got to attract a starting salary of at least £50k (plus the allowances) and no one should accept anything less for the disruption and inconvenience the job would involve.

It seems that the new HIAL Manager ATS is putting his toe in the water to see if any of the dumb fish bite, lets hope there are plenty of crocs, gaitors and pirhanas around to stop him taking the piss.:cool:

You surely aren't suggesting they would just bog off on the changeover day, having refused to train the newbies - like they did at Hurn, Liverpool & Prestwick ? :(

The situation at Boscombe Down comes to mind actually; none of the staff of the new contractor reached the required standard on NATS last day despite the efforts of NATS to train them (and at least one of NATS staff signing on with the new contrcator).

@ chevvron
A real moral dilemma that - asking anyone to train someone you know will displace you is not a recipe for success :(

Air Traffic Controller with London Southend Airport Co. Ltd | 1401339445

Southend advertising in Flight. Salary info included.

:(:( I'm a UK based ADI, APP and unvalidated APS rated ATCO who earns <40k for upto 250 / 300 movements on a busy day......

hmmmmmmm.....:sad:

Thanks for the reality check guys !

ATC jobs have dried up like the economy :(.
This is such a specialized field that all your years of experience won't get you to a bank teller position for a fifth of the salary.

Yes - we're still here! We desperately need a TWR/APP ATCO for full-time, ideally with Met Obs too.

Get in touch with the unit, PM me or see Safeskys website.

Bournemouth have just been told to accept a pay cut or reduced staffing.

''Bournemouth have just been told to accept a pay cut or reduced staffing.''


No they haven't.

I hear that EGNX have been advertising (closing date has passed), but did not see this on Flight Global Jobs. Is there another website or agency that would usually advertise these jobs or is it simply the case of checking each airport's website?

Since this is a Rumour network, are there any rumoured jobs coming up in the near future? I am currently overseas with ADC and APR ratings and very interested in getting back to Blighty at the earliest opportunity! :ok:
