IOF Controllers Clinic

addison Posted: 6 June 2006, 2:51 PM   With limited IOF Controllers in NZ, I have an idea. Surely someone who can run a clinic will be heading to oz for JWOC next year, howsabout our federation pay for them to fly to NZ a weekend after that or something... and run a clinic here in NZ? It would be great experience for lots of controllers to have, and even though lots of people that may never do a WRE. It would be quite cost efficient compared to flying people over to Europe to do them wouldnt it?   Marquita G Posted: 6 June 2006, 11:24 PM   Brilliant idea - you do astound me sometimes Simon. I would be very keen to attend.   addison Posted: 7 June 2006, 3:01 AM   And perhaps we could take it further - by having them look over our own practices and training for controllers in NZ. I am sure that with the technical committee doing a reworking of how it works, this international input would help heaps. I for one would be keen to do the course, and I know of a couple of others that would be too. What would it take for us to organise this?   Martin Posted: 7 June 2006, 3:38 AM   money... everything needs money these days... but put it to Stuart and the council? i'd b keen.
