Well how about if some of you at your units come and train in the tower at Heathrow??
We are desperately short of people and will continue to be for a very long time..... Sadly, bar one or two, nobody at any other airfield units want to come to Heathrow.... Would somebody please tell us why?? If it takes a crap load of money to get people to think differently about coming to the unit then thats what it takes!! If you aren't willing to come and give it a shot then please keep your mouths shut!!
In addition to this NATS is now a commercial business, and just like all the other commercial businesses they will pump money into the areas that produce the greatest return for them, and unfortunately for other units that means LACC, TC and EGLL. Nobody is disputing the fact that every single NATS unit has its own complexity, traffic levels, airspace issues, etc, but for a change NATS has decided to look at the units that produce the biggest financial return first, which will hopefully lead to all other unit issues being dealt with. We can all sympathise with Farnborough and their high radar workload, but what it comes down to is the fact that most of the people who use that service don't actually pay for it!!
