I see in the the latest Flight ads that HK is looking for 12 expat radar controllers.However if you are over 40 then forget it.Ageism isn't dead and is illegal in the UK.Interesting that they advertise in a UK publication,for UK/ICAO controllers,and break UK leglisation.:D:confused:Anyway are CAD throwing in the towel?:rolleyes:
hey there Dyce
you worked in HK did you not?
I thought age discrimination was against the law (for civil service jobs .... which these most surely are) in honkers as well, which is why they hired a handful of 50 year olds back in '98 (like Desi etc) after complaints were made by some of the older applicants as to why they weren't offered jobs!
are you able to fill us in on this one mate.

Yes I did from 98 to 01.I e-mailed the Real Time Consultants and was told in very plain english that at 46 I was too old.Actually the money isn't that good anymore as the £60K pa is about £6K less than I get here.Before gratuity etc of course.
So there you go.Help set up CLK for them,and get told to F:mad: off Oldtimer.Looks like Gweilo Airlines should be renamed GweiOld Controller srapyard.Anyway better get back to tuning my ride mower with the HKATC sticker.Got to beat the DB golf cart.:cool:

Hi - I just bought the December and January Flight Internationals and couldn't find these ads.
Do you mind saying what issue and page? (I'm in HK - maybe they weren't in my version for some reason).
