As for pensions, can't see the 9/18 deal being offered either! Pay deals, nope - won't get the Proper NATS rates on that either. Solutions is at best the illegitimate child of Proper NATS, sometimes part of the family and sometimes not depending on circumstances that management decide on. That's just for the ATCOs though, I will take a guess that the GM will be Proper NATS......
