ref your post, there is no "r" in Alstom.
All the ars'es in Alstrom have been moved to NATS.
Seriously though...if we were so bad in the recent past pre-Barron era I shall expect to see a considerable change in what is currently a jobs-for-life management culture.
Watch this space......sorry "airspace".
I hope we can become as efficient as the rail industry...[thinking now ...Oh dear .....poor choice of words....must think of a positive example that doesn't require 672 job cuts.....aaah....got one], and I know how lucky and indeed fortunate we are to have acquired temporary staff with the expertise needed to persuade Government to write-off NATS' debts. I knew that there must be a reason why I couldn't find vacancy notices or job advertisements for a selection of recently-filled top posts...but I didn't check foreign sites.
I've never been shown how the e-mail system works at the blip factory so won't...in fact can't...e-mail the Barron. Asked about it yesterday and apparently I do have an "account" or something, which contains 2754 un-read messages. You see I'm just a controller, I go to work, control aeroplanes, and go home.....and beyond that the company has no interest in me whatsoever.
Thank Goodness for easy-to-use Pprune....God Bless to you all!
