Hey,

Received a letter from the IAA a few days ago about this!!!

The IAA have opened the position for their student controller programme,
See all the gen on the iaa website at http://www.iaa.ie/corp_fin/vac_info.asp?ID=55

Applicants must have been born on or before 1 May 1988.
Completed Application Forms must be submitted on-line by 12 noon on Monday 10 September 2007.

Starting off on ?18k isn't bad for training huh??
And being ?47k after 2 years training!!!!

May apply myself as it was second on my dream job list, 1 being a pilot.

Good luck with it if your applying guys.

47k is very tempting! Sister got her letter yesterday.

Anybody know what the competition is like and how many controllers they're looking for? I heard that the last batch were pulled from the course before they completed it so reckon they'll have a head start.

Haven't heard of the competition being open in a few years so thought this referred to those students. Maybe for the students that didn't make the final interview then.

"Candidates who previously sat the test in the last three years will be precluded from re-sitting, and will be evaluated on their previous test results."

Dubai? Nice one, better than a rainy morning in Shannon

If you already have a PPL and are applying for this then would you skip some of the training? Anyone know?

Dutch Roll · by **Dutch Roll** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 6:24 pm

No but it would prob help in the theory for some exams

According to the article, you do need a class One Medical.
Good Luck!

I was born on the 5th of May 1988! I wonder would they count me out for the sake of 5 days...

Hi Airoshane, in the same boat as you, I'm 4/5/88. Its not end of the world if you don't get it. There's lots more aviation jobs out there. I think
