I,m guessing chevvron has never ventured north of Watford. Like most of them dahn sarf thinks there's no aviation goes on oop north.

If you wanna be like that, I landed at Unst (furthest north airport in the UK) in a Loganair Islander during a 4 week detachment to Sumburgh during which I also visted Foula(most isolated airfield in the UK).
I've also been to the Stadium of Light; do you know in Washington on the A1, you're almost in the Arctic yet there are still signs saying 'To the North'. |

I'm surprised EGGP doesn't have it's own thread! 6 in one go is a heck of a lot to lose at once.

I know 2 of them from EGNX, chevvron. I know 'PK hasn't been NATS for a while, can you remember when it changed? We were talking about it recently up here. It was one of the aerodromes I put on my posting preference form. I hope it has a future, along with Blackpool.

PIK took over ATC services from NATS on 1 April 1993 (I started there on 12th July 1993 - there was a nice band wearing orange sashes & bowler hats out in the street to greet me - well, I assume that's what they were there for ! ... ;-) ;-)

Chatting to one of the 'bikers' before we left, he told us it was the only time they got overtime paid so they liked to 'push the boat out'. |
Perfect example of northern hospitality and good fellowship

They will take applications for 2 weeks only.
https://www.iaa.ie/careers/current-v...ic-controllers Starting date is 2 weeks after they receive your cv. Can't imagine many going if the germans are also taking ready entries |

They advertised at the beginning of December for ATCOs. They usually advertise on the airport’s own website given they are the ANSP.
Probably always worth getting in touch with any unit though; given most have advertised in the last year and the shortage doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. |

What, not enough Nats controllers available? Sounds like something that happened over 20 years ago that was fought by the union.:=

I've heard that Dublin are looking for experienced controllers. Anybody got more info?

Not sure which unit you were referring to but Liverpool is Aerodrome and approach, with both Liverpool and Doncaster approach on site.
Manchester is aerodrome and approach radar, with Manchester radar on site. The area sectors moved out but Manchester radar is still done locally. |

The starting sentence of many an incident "I assumed"!!!
|
chevvron, as Crazy says, Manch' approach is still at EGCC as far as I'm aware. Unless of course there are new plans afoot to re-locate it to Ayrshire?
