Good "point". Overtime keeps Swanwick operational [barely]. Supervisors like to keep a little validation going to take advantage of the "dosh", can't leave all the money for the troops can they? We even have previously office-bound controllers doing a bit.....in fact it is abso-bl??dy-lutely incredible where they have all come from since the AAVA's [overtime] appeared. There are so many ATCO 1's doing overtime that they actually out-number the ATCO 2's [the normal operational controller grade at Swanwick]. Methinks that the union should be pushing for a re-grade to ATCO 1 for all!////////Anyway the best of luck to all at EGHH, I think you're about to learn what market forces are; strike while the iron is hot.
