I just think that the time is perfect to persuade NATS and TAG that in order to help them out of the present mess then we would be prepared to accept an improvement to our T&Cs that will cost very little.

I can think of no other time that NATS management will be persuaded to go down this route,certainly not in the day to day running of the business. Yes,there is a small cost in terms of admin but nothing significant.

The other benefit for Prospect is that it puts the "clear blue water" between themselves and the other bargaining groups as promised last year-but seemingly not carried out in the present negotiations. And that is not a dig at the other groups, more a suggestion to Prospect and the BEC.

PS.niteflite. Thanks for the comments-can't remember the last time a MACC ATCO referred to a LACC ATCO as "sir". Things are certainly looking up.
