Back in the days of ATCO Cadet Courses, NATS would start 3 intakes per year, then found (mid 70s) that they were training too many so 'held' some intakes. What happens 5 years later? The 'glut'of older controllers, mostly ex wartime aircrew, suddenly began retiring at the same time and hey presto there was a shortage.

The CAA Oberon report

thinks that it was reasonable that NATS could not predict that events would materialise and combine

Yes they could not have forseen that pleading poverty over pay rises while making record profits and paying very large dividends would result in bad industrial relations and lead to a low overtime take up rate...

I hope they've taken steps to restock their whitewash supplies.

Humberside
Isle of Man
Yeovil
Hawarden

Haven't seen an advert for Yeovil; thought it had gone AFIS.
Wasn't Hawarden a SERCO unit or did that change?
I'm sure NATS would like to get the contracts for Humberside and IOM; wonder if they're trying?

Hawarden was Serco, no idea now. As for Yeovil, don't know either but they were advertising, just posting what vacancies I find. And on that note...

Southampton

Yeovil looking for a ATCO with ADI + APP with Ex- Mil experience They do have a AFISO though.

Gibraltar looking for an ADI, APS rated ATCO very soon.

Don't tempt me, I'm supposed to be retired.

Does the position with SafeSkys not take your fancy?

Operating 3 parallel runways plus helicopters at my age?

CFAC - did you perhaps call someone Dicky instead of Richard ? ;-) ;-)

Vacancies | Air Traffic Control Officer

ANS have recently opened applications for their January 2018 intake of Ab-initios for Edinburgh. They are also advertising for qualified staff but I think that has been ongoing for a while.

Can anyone PM me regarding recruitment at EGPH and the transition from NATS to ANS?

Should I be tempted
 

I need some help.

I've heard some good and bad things about Safeskys. Was considering enquiring about the job at WAP but a bit worried that it's too busy and that I will struggle.

Any advice?

Thanks Chevvron. What were you experiences of the Mgt

Vacancy at Blackpool - see their website

Chevvron !!
 

But aren't you in charge Chevvron??????

The way I understand the system to work nowadays is:
If you're under contract to NATS and decide to stay at Edinburgh, ANS have to offer you terms and conditions at least equivalent to those provided by NATS. You can ask NATS for a transfer if you do not wish to stay with the new ANSP.
Years ago, I heard tales of SERCO taking over ANSP contracts, firing all the staff on a friday and re-hiring about 50% of them the following monday. How true that is I don't know but it's apparently not allowed nowadays.

Are the new recruits on the same pay scales and terms and conditions as the retained NATS staff?

Only if you’re on the ‘Trust of a Promise’, ie you were a NATS employee when PPP occurred, and have been ever since.

Rumour has it that there numerous numbers of ATCO departures following Safeskys taking over at WAP. Another one gone today.

I really do hope the recent incident is lot linked.

Rumour has it one ATCO from Wycombe (a lady as it happens) has applied elsewhere strangely where the salary is significantly less than 50k.

Why do you need an OJT Endorsement for a short term contract?

Day 1 - Pre-OJT/Transitional Training?
Day 2 - Training Day
Day 3 - Validation
Day 4 - Training new staff?

Wow. My flippant post is strangely accurate!

V-L how is the acquisition of Safeskys changing your day to day operation?

However, salaries in Europe are very far from those paid in the Middle East. I am wondering why there arent more ATCO strikes across Europe. There are several pilot strikes already scheduled for this Christmas.
