Well, as you know, Avinor is the sole provider at 19 controlled airfields, and at 3 ACCs (1 of which will close in 2008) in Norway today-
The working situation is sadly not as good as we would like between management and the staff. Due to higher demands to cut cost, there is a large restructuring program running, and a lot of people will have to move (controllers), and a lot will loose their jobs (assistants).
But.....since the genious people at the top stopped all recruitment and training 2 years ago, we now need more staff!
The pay is good, hours are good, and we have a CAA mandated limit on overtime. We have a rigid seniority system, but foreigners have gotten full value from former experience in some cases I know of.
There is I fear (dont't know for sure), still a requirement to speak a scandi language, all R/T is in english, and coordination can be if you want, but still.....
