Thats what I heard niteflight, only LTCC/LACC/EGLL and the college in top band.
I moved this into the NATS forum for those that dont want public votes, I'll however gladly publicise my own response:
My thoughts on this are that a structured pay deal like this has been on the cards for years, and is justified as long as the right units get the right scale but already, as Farny hints, there is one ruffled collar. Pay cannot be uniform in so many different environments, but those environments that deserve more should benefit. I hope, lest expect that the negotiating team have done their work and attempted to grade all units accordingly, I feel there will be some that think they are being undervalued though. I agree that the college do not deserve top rank either, but they are mostly ATCO 1's at the moment. Off the issue but raised at my unit was the need for 5 years experience to train in the non radar college, but only 2 years to become a mentor on fully live traffic, thats one I think I'll never understand.
But then its easy to look at this simply being at LACC.....

Barny, if you are NATS then getting on the Private Forum is easy. Just e-mail the link provided.
If you dont know TT (Traffic Traffic) yet, then this is almost certainly the thread you'll meet him in
