just a few thoughts.
Firstly it does seem a little strange/amiss/perhaps insulting that our (Nats) owners dont feel any compunction towards offering any sort of travel incentive to the hard working NATS employee.
Surely their other employees would feel a little aggrieved if they received as many direct entitlements as us i.e. square root of f all
Secondly I do find it a little disturbing that some folk on this thread (and a few others that I work with ) think that travel concession offers would comfort the blow of a poor pay offer.
big bo$$ocks, nothing to do with it.
Lastly Ukatts. Perhaps not as effective as in the past but all thanks to those who started it and continue to run it. I and many people still continue to benefit from producing a scratched laminated card with a very embarassing photo to obtain the odd discount or upgrade in many situations.
