RPI + 1% or 2% sounds very reasonable compared to Paul Barron’s reported 3 x RPI rise of last year.
Whether the union will ask for it is another matter, they are in my opinion too understanding of the problems faced by NATS’ management.
Paul Barron needs to start understanding his staff’s problems – we are being hit with 35% increases in fuel costs and that is going to feed into the cost of every other thing we buy.
Nobody knows just how far the RPI will climb. Certainly this would be the worst time possible to be locked into a 3 year deal not linked to RPI + n%
