TT, I think you missed the point a little.
NATS, in their effort to be a "world ATS leader" has really pissed so many staff off. And I agree some units have a right to be so (what's that term my therapist uses......undervalued?).
So just keep the bitching and moaning going guys. Stuff the NATS forum..........it's going to make a lot of other ATS staff out there think "Jeeze, I thought we were getting shafted!". Let's all feel good in ourselves we can help our fellow controllers in this small way.
(I know I'm repeating myself)
How about emailing
[email protected] , get access to the NATS forum (Provide your real name, pprune user name, employee number and unit) and continue it there if you must.
