The Director General had apparently decided to waive the criteria regarding nationality -(Australia is not a Member State of EUROCONTROL)- and so I decided to apply. In 2000, I read an article about EUROCONTROL in Flight International magazine. I intended to remain an Australian ATCO and maybe move into the tower or approach stream over time but things changed.
In 1995, the en route sectors were being merged between two centres (Brisbane and Melbourne) and my en route sectors were moved from Sydney to Brisbane. I was subsequently checked out as an air traffic controller in Sydney in 1993. However, this post was being phased out, so my employer (the civil aviation authority) offered me two options: redundancy or retraining as a civil ATCO via a conversion course at the University of Tasmania. I started my career as a flight service officer in Australia in 1989.
