If it's such a mess why would they give away £43 million in dividends?

As I've said before in another thread I won't disagree with anybody who thinks that the £43 million should have been retained just in case. That said the board gets to decide what to do with the the profit and the shareholders have a legitimate claim to some of it. I'm just thankful they didn't take any more.

Well I'm glad they [management] care about something, because they care little about their staff. A controller colleague just retired after almost 40 years service.......during which he took FOUR [yes...FOUR] days sick leave....apart from a crappy watch or something after 25 years....he got absolutely F all.
He did of course take much respect and good wishes from his brother and sister ATC buddies.

I don't see why people should expect to receive anything on retirement except thanks and good wishes from management and those they worked with. Where I work the managers make sure that people retiring are properly acknowledged when they leave but any gift comes from colleagues. It's always been like that both as a government agency and a privatised company. If you are saying that they didn't receive proper acknowledgement from their managers then that is perhaps a failing by those managers because others do it.
