Sorry I don't think my post was very clear.
What I meant was:
It's been mentioned 8 ATCOs have or are in the process of leaving Newcastle.
Nats train their own cadets. So do ANS. (A few exceptions for Gatwick).
That leaves only a few places like Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham among the "larger" airports.
I have friends at many UK airports and I haven't heard of many ex-Newcastle new colleagues.
I am just curious where are 8 ATCOs with previous experience might be going, unless it's smaller units (and possibly a pay cut) or leaving the UK.
