I can assure you not all ATCOs have that sort of pot, its the lucky ones that were in the old NATS scheme that benefitted from that. Those staff probably now in their late 40s are without doubt financially secure beyond the dreams of the average UK worker. I know a lot of ATCOs with only a fraction of that amount and they will have to save hard and invest wisely to even get to half of that amount over a long career.
