What is the solution?
Fair points all, thanks for being down to earth. Could a solution to the lack of transparency be a sub-division of NATS into more recognisable chunks?
NATS Operations
NATS External Business
NATS Training
NATS R&D
etc. etc.
Each sub division could sink or swim on its own merits, as a coal facer I sometimes feel like an alien in what NATS appears to have become. The most insignificant of factors has led to this continuing sour taste.......do you know that something as petty as the re-instatement of a proper Fam Flight and Liaison Visit scheme would at least indicate to me that Management knew I existed. What other professional organisation, indeed what other part of THIS organisation, expects necessary training and development to be done in one's own time at one's own expense?........to me that indicates where we are at!
