ex-EGLL;

Well we are doing our BEST to not go the same route that you or the UK have gone. We are spending a bit of money working both in the press as well as with the congress to keep it from happening.

I see you are from the capitol... Makes me wish for a beaver tail <G>...

regards

Scott, whats the score for UK controllers coming to the US?

Don't even think about it Slim!!

ATCO2 it cant get much worse than EGLL is at the moment!

You can come to the US, you just can't work as a controller until you get US citizenship. You need that to get your security clearance...

regards

PS. But I have been known to put folks up for the grand ATC tour < g >.

Do I understand correctly that you are ex-UK and now NavCanada? I tried to mail you but the system says "NO". I would like to pick your brain regarding NavCanada please.

Hi Bollygirl,

A major employer of non NATS ATCOs is Safeskys. They have contracts at several UK Regional airports and I have worked for them in the past.

The contact is Richard Barber
Safeskys House,
Amersham Hill Drive
High Wycombe
Bucks HP13 6QX
UK

Tel 01494 451660
Fax 01494 474377
email: [email protected]

Webpage: safeskys.co.uk

The webpage has a 'Stop Press & Jobs' page which has 4 current vacancies today. It is updated every two ot three days.

One bit of advice though. Never ever ever send your CV out to every SATCO/Manager ATS. It is usually ignored and damages you somewhat. It tells them that you are desperate and will work anywhere(i.e when you see the next better vacancy - you are off). It also says that you cannot be bothered to research an ATC job properly. Read what Safeskys advises on their webpage, its good advice.

Good luick in your search.

Thwack11, check your E-Mail
