Intentionally Blank
I am sure that this 'unfair' world that we live in is very demoralising, but I cannot just sit here and read your blinkered remarks without comment.
You bleat on about how you always work a full shift, if that is the case, then my hat goes off to you, but I cannot believe that you work every shift from start to finish, every day you are in.
I presume (dangerous I know) that you work at an airport north of the border. I'm sure that you must have a nice house and live a fairly comfortable life. You state in one thread that you do not have a desire to work in London. Why is this??? Because it is overcrowded?? Is a nause to get to work?? It costs a stupid amount of money to buy a house??? That alone is worth the extra 6%. Oh sorry, I forgot the £1500 London weighting we get every year to make up for the huge gulf in house prices!!!!
Yes I am an ATCO 2, yes I work at LTCC, Yes I work hard, Yes I may leave 1/2 hour before the end of the shift sometimes, but when all is said and done, the traffic levl and complexity that I deal with on a day to day basis is higher than what you deal with and that justifies a higher salary. If that makes me 'greedy' as you so eloquently put it then so be it. If you feel that strongly, get down here and see how 'cushy' our lives really are!!!!!!!!
