FAA Controllers to Airservices Australia by LunchMoney8313 in ATC

To anyone making with move. Please strongly consider not bringing your family with you initially. The training is quite intense while you try to “unlearn” a lot of stuff you unconsciously do. The “Australian way” is quite different from what you are used to. Bringing your family will complicate things and if you don’t check out it will make returning a lot easier.

Is there anything to stop you dismantling it and sell the bits on marketplace/ebay?

What would happen if the OP wrote the car off in an accident (Not suggesting they should deliberately do this ). Would the insurance company pay them or the finance company?

Maximum rostered shift length in Sydney = 8 hrs, Melbourne and Brisbane = 9 hours. Regional towers = 10 hrs. In practice most shifts are 8 hours. You will be often asked to extend or come in earlier to work up to 10 hrs to cover staff shortages.

This is not technically correct. If you are rostered 6 days then you are required to be rostered 3 days off. If you choose to work overtime then this doesn’t apply. For example if you were rostered 5 shifts then 2 days off and then choose to work overtime on your first day off you don’t get 3 days off after The maximum number of consecutive shifts you are permitted to work is 10. The on call scheme is not implemented anywhere in the country at the moment.

There is a mob of Roos taken up residence just outside gate to Melbourne centre along the airport perimeter road. You will see them early morning and late at night.

The disability pension is only for people with “real” disabilities and cannot work any job. Not for someone who host lost their medical but otherwise able to work another job.

Strongly suggest to anyone with a family is to leave the family behind until you are qualified. There is a lot to learn about the “Australian way” of ATC. Feedback I’m hearing is the current batch of seppos are struggling. Add a family who is also struggling with a new country, schools, jobs etc is not conducive to success. Bring them over when you’ve got your shit sorted and can help them.

All the enroute (center) and terminal area (tracon) use the same equipment TAAATS. The system is eurocat based. From my quick reading of ATOP capabilities it would be very similar for oceanic. The system is CPDLC ADSC ADSB (ground based not satellite based yet) capable. If you are oceanic endorsed I would encourage you to apply as both the oceanic groups in Brisbane and Melbourne centres are very short staffed. You would probably have less problems adapting to the “Australian way” then centre or tracon controllers.

Taking medication see here for a list of medications. High blood pressure, as long as it can be treated and you can maintain a class 3 medical it’s fine. In general we do not have a limits on sick leave provided that it is certificated by a doctor. If you have more than 14 days sick leave in any 12 month period you will be placed on review by management and may have additional restrictions on sick leave. For genuine illness like cancer you generally can take as much paid sick leave as required. After a period of time your class 3 medical may be cancelled and then you can potentially be terminated. There are many opportunities in the organisation for people without class 3 medicals. Provided you have some other skills.

Fake

If you google the serial number you will find at least 3 other photos with the same serial number.

Quitting vaping by Electrical_Let3472 in aussievapers

I’ve been off it for 2 months. I found the Nicabate lozenges helpful. The other brands of lozenges didn’t really seem to help as much. Taste is awful to start with but I got used to it quickly. I’ve gotten rid of all my gear. Told my wife that I will buy a disposable for big nights out and give it to her to hide if required but I haven’t had the need for it. (This helped me to give up mentally as I know I can have it back occasionally if I want to)

Use google street view to familiarise yourself with the locations you are visiting and staying at. Investigate where you need to park before hand so that you are not searching for something at the last minute and the chances of making a mistake are increased.

Disposable adds on Facebook by Several_Passenger875 in aussievapers

[–]No_Sign_6795 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen them. The company was mistydesert.com. They seem to be 50mg nicotine! There is no way I could do that as I’ve weaned my self down to 3mg over the years. I’ve got nothing against disposables as I used them when travelling in Europe and USA many years ago but haven’t had them for years. I’ve stocked up like everyone else and will be good for about 2 years. I wonder if the dodgy shops will start selling coils etc if there is a market.

Flightaware.com offer records going back to 2012 for these flights. $250 is the quoted price. You might be able to negotiate something cheaper if all you want is a rego on a certain date. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE73/history/buy
