Any body have any news on the proposed new ACC and ex-pat recruitment details please?

ATCO1962 25th June 2016 04:28

The "proposed" ACC is already a reality, except that we haven't moved into it yet. Still some outstanding issues. As far as I know, there's no recruitment at all, expat or Omani, while the government works through the budget crisis. We need more staff with ever-increasing numbers of aircraft using our airspace and there was a government delegation visiting the centre the other day, listening to the desperate plea to get more people but no news yet.

NolongerNumber2 25th June 2016 06:28

Thanks for that. Would like to get in there but I guess there will be loads of people interested! I did hear that 40+ would be recruited but all went dead.

Yimkin buhkra inshallah!

Almost thirty years since I was last in the ACC, nothing changes.

ATCO1962 26th June 2016 07:56

You might be surprised TCAS FAN. There are glacial changes at times and we certainly have some nice, shiny, new ATM gear courtesy of INDRA. Unfortunately, ATCOs are still seen simply as office workers in some admin quarters so the urgency attached to recruitment is somewhat lacking at times. Sigh.

When did you leave and who was here when you were here? I guess you were a PanAm controller?

Late eighties, Pan Am yes, in the ACC at 0400HR LST the night it opened for business, eating celebratory cake with the Director General, which was the highlight of his night!

Didn't have your problem of working directly for PACA (DGCA in my day) we kept salaries up with market forces and we could therefore keep staff levels maintained, albeit subsequent to constant pressure to reduce contract costs by reducing staff levels. Did help that we had a large pool of Zim' ATCOs to draw upon. They'd had enough of Bob Mugabe destroying their country after just 1 year of independence.

Had major problem with recruiting suitable local applicants as they could get far more money working for PDO or a bank, without having to work nights/public holidays. Those we did recruit, train and retain made excellent Area ATCOs - Abdullah, Saud (aka Super Chicken), Sabri to name a few. often having to manage a full procedural board on North Sector as the 23 cm military radar that we had to use keep falling over.

Think positive you still have a job, we were constantly being told that the ACC would be completely nationalised by the mid 1990s. It could have happened, there was the talent available locally, but as you indicate, then as is the case now, those in authority (often there through family/tribal position rather than intellect) could not/would not recognise the job skills and salary levels required to attract the right calibre of staff, and have the balls to secure a budget that would sustain it.

We set up the en-route charges system for DGCA, in the mid 1980s over $US1.0 million per month was coming, so money was there to invest in staffing. Unfortunately those in authority would go ask for some of it, before it disappeared into central government coffers.

TCAS, PM sent

russbus 3rd August 2017 07:47

Hi all, I see there hasn't been much activity on this thread for a while, can anyone update me on if anyone got interviews/jobs following the large number of people asking for contact details earlier on? And does anyone know if they are currently hiring in the center at the moment? Thanks in advance

ATCO1962 4th August 2017 12:59

Sadly, no recruitment at all, expat or local. We've lost a few expats recently and there may be more. The whole system is waiting with bated breath for a new company (state owned enterprise??) so that we are no longer hamstrung by multiple layers of bureaucracy i.e. about 4 government departments/ministries that want a hand in "distributing" over-flight charges. That's due to come later in the year, one hopes, but it's hard to say if it's simply going to be a change of signs over the building, as it was last time, going from DGMAN to PACA. We live in hope.
