A fool and his money..... Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 4 hours ago, Happier diner said: In many cases you can homegrow a skill and then the buggers leave to go and work in the UK. In theory it evens itself out but it does mean we have to get people from the UK for all sorts of skills. It's a good job not everyone has the same attitude to training or we'd have no one to import. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What attitude is that? How would you propose to offer a ATC course on Island for less than 1 person per year and then force them to stay employed on island?

Nobody in their right mind will want to have to deal with our politicos and civil servants interference on a daily basis, then when something goes awry, the airport boss is left carrying the can. I honestly believe that the main issue here is as always, nobody is carrying the can for anything ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principally because its not great on your CV if you have aspirations to work elsewhere in the world. 9 arrivals and 9 departures in total today..not exactly premier league in the ATC world. In contrast, Guernsey an island less than half the size of the Isle of Man with a smaller population has 25 arrivals and 25 departures.

Dirty Buggane Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 16 hours ago, Kopek said: Why are the '' politicos and CS'' beingt blamed when Cobb himself said he had an offer he couldn't refuse??? Yeah, fuck off before we sack you. This does not look good coming so close to the Jurby affair, so I'm guessing he had a lot more to do with its instigation than is being said. So this is not going to look good on my linky-dink so I'm offski before being pushed. Will this not make it to his profile , you know a bit like Magson. And I know its all a figment of my imagination but I've never been one to let truth get in the way of a good rumour. 🤫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Flight Management System £300M! That would go quite a way to building that new airport. Are they relocating London Centre here? Smart-arsed salesman spots another bunch of thick locals to flog an unneeded, overpriced toy to. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
