As far as I know the salary will be the same with a licence or without one.The only thing and chance to kick you out would be if you really can't validate.

All the best.

@ zkjaws...thanx 4 info
 

You covered some areas that I didn't think to ask. Enjoy your travels in China....If you have never been to China, Hong Kong/Kowloon is outrageous..I loved it (I was there during their New Year Celebration)! Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is decent as well if you're in that area...just hot and humid as hell! Take Care :ok:

Enjoy China

Thanks People..............

@ Number2...sorry about that.
 

Lol...I just read your PM today...I am new to the site...and just discovered the PM function...sorry it took soo long to reply....I had no idea you were talking about me when I read this post the first time .... then I read it again..and said to myself ...hey ...I'm one of the two people from the U.S. this person is referring to.....:O Hit me back (PM) when you can....take care:ok:

for all planing to come over to Muscat
please bring your own headsets with you,its a tight policy we have here for hygiene resons
and yeah,woopi we have air newzealand airways staff members who came to fix our sysytem
though we had the report written by swedes,saying that we have problems
so thats the task for all the new comers to figure it all out
goodluck:ouch:

BHD
 

What type of headset? Model number, etc.?

Muscat ACC headsets specifics????
 

Yeah...I was going ask that as well.....us USA types are probably use to Plantronics MS30/MS50 standard issue.....there is a new one out with noise cancelling MS200-1 for approx. usd $130.....but what type connector?? two prong? ohms, voltage dc?? :8

North Sector/Airspace????
 

How did that whole North Sector split thing work out? Did it improve working conditions and efficiency? Any other airspace modifications resectorization or automation proposals in the making? :8

Bring your own headset?! You have got to be kidding me! Provide my own flightstrips as well?

understandable...
 

:ooh:........A headset is a very personal and intimate accessory mannnn:cool:! It's kinda like......welllll...... your toothbrush :p hahah aahh!! One time a fello controller used a headset that he thought was his, turned out to be mine!!! Ear plug and everything all stuffed in his ear!!!!!! :\ I WAS NOT THAT HAPPY!!! Soooo, thanks BHD!! If that is indeed some kinda norm/policy...I'll just go with it....:ok:

BHD is kidding, guys. You will be issued with a standard, one ear headset when you get here. However, instead of the good, old days, when we had substantial, easily workable headsets that plugged into the console via a simple, double-prong, male-female connection, we now have flimsy ones that connect into very complex, multiple connectors that are already starting to fall to bits. Combine that with the fact that you only receive half the parts of the headset (i.e.the last bit that connects to your head), you rely on the other half that connects your bit to the console actually being in place. We only have a limited amount of those and they are continually going missing, meaning that we have to use watch-specific, full headsets that you share, like your toothbrush, with everyone on the watch. This shoddy arrangement also means that you cannot listen in on handovers and training becomes a nightmare. After all these years, I can only say shame on DGMAN. This should have been fixed as a priority, both for safety and for hygiene reasons, long ago. There is no excuse for this and everyone ducks for cover when asked why, after nigh on a year or so, there's been no action.

One step forward, two steps back........

had a feelin'
 

:d.......bhd!!! Lmao!!!

no locker......
 

no locker..........itt:=

JAWS
 

JAWS i tell you my friend,since you left things have improved
we have drinking water provided,we have brand new lockers now,we have hand wash provided
you ask your mates over here
2nd what make you think that the current headsets jack(plugs) arent that bad :bored:
yeah i should have thought
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SAME ONES USED IN NZ
so i guess that makes them perfect

but the toilet paper issue is still pending,you are more than wellcome to use
STRIP PAPER instead:ok:

what ever jaws
some people are ment to work on "islands" only:rolleyes:

"As for the strip paper - I wouldn't go there. Look at the trouble I got in for putting a few on the floor."

ROFL!

Am I missing the joke or is BHD a little 'bitter' about something?

Anyone tell me some contact adress or mail on which I can send cv in order to aply for area controller job in Muscat.Thanks :)

N2
you are missing the joke
you see some people came here and left
some left with good memories and and friends ,they were productive all the way while their stayed in Muscat
and some sadly didnt,they left with a "bang" like they say,and they are the ones who are bitter,not me
some people role here on this fourm as we all know is incourging people to come over and give it a shot and some regardlesss any thing,they just give the negative points but never mention any positive ones.

bobesko -the door is closed, I think so .

I would like to c more europeans in Muscat and seems Ill need a room-m8 also;)

"bobesko -the door is closed, I think so ."

It most definitely is not!

Farrell

thanks :ok:

Paperworks
 

does anyone know how much time it takes to get all the clearances to start the training in muscat.

thanks in advance guys..:

Good Question!
 

Don't know. I'm waiting patiently as well! I wanted to ask that, but you beat me to it! Good Job!!!:cool:

I was told that it can be up to 6 months. I'm prepared to be corrected though!

Info
 

It can take anything from a couple of months to maybe a year or so.

Once you get the approval you need to get in the country within 6 months.

As I have heard they managed to speed things up a bit and eventually it should be shorter.How short depends on your luck.

Gianni

I´ve been waiting since August, now...

Fast Response!!!!!!!!!
 

THANK YOU GUYS....THATS WAT I CALL A FAST RESPONSE......:D
IT SEEMS LIKE WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT.

PROBABLY PAPERWORKS ARE THE SAME AS SLOW AS IN MY COUNTRY....LOL:ok:

Expect to wait between six months and one year - it is getting faster.

And in an effort to help yourselves, make sure to give more than is asked for when it comes to photocopies and photographs etc.

Farrell

No wonder I was told "don't resign yet!!"

Sounds like all governments work at the same pace. It must take special training.

WAITING
 

THANKS......EVERYONE...........:ok:

Info on documents
 

I have to agree with Farrell on this one.I send the documents with photos and ten days later they told me they lost the photos(somewhere in the Minustry)and I need to send another 20 a.s.a.p.:ugh:

I think this will be a long and very stressfull waiting period.

Can anyone advise when they have his paperwork done(I will if someone wants).

Cheers all,

Gianni

fotos
 

My Photos were lost as well!! Had to FedEx 20 more!!!:ooh:

Why on earth wud u have to send 20 more ???:confused::confused::confused:

You're not from 'round these parts are ya boy.......

:*who knows???

20 photos,i think these are usualy to open 20 files all around the country
internal office,police,all ministries concerned like forigen affairs....etc

paperwoks
 

just hoping this photos issue dont turn to be a standard problem......i mean, lossing them.....just fedex 20 photos from the other end of the world is not exciting at all...........:=
