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.
There's a 'word of mouth' trawl (I've seen nothing on paper) for Manston; possible start date early 2022 and the middle east (eg Abu Dhabi) seems to have a high turnover.
