The offer goes to the BEC on Wednesday. Rumour has it that Manch & Scatcc are reasonably happy. IPMS reps cannot go around recommending rejection as this can be construed as industrial action.WE are the members and it is down to US to tell our reps how we feel.
Some posters here seem to feel happy with the OJTI payment , but look at it this way: we work approx 1400 hours/year. We train 50% of that time. Someone on top of scale will get about £1700 pa gross, works out at about £2.42 per hour GROSS.Still a good deal???
Something else is that you will have the option to opt not to continue as an active OJTI. Is it worth all the aggro for this pittance - no. Should the deal go through then if enough say we no longer wish to participate as an active mentor, (especially members of the NTT) , then NATS will have little choice except to come with a revised offer. The only problem is if NATS want an excuse for a further delay to NERC-worth the risk I think.
Come on everyone , we all know the mess they're in, let's just for once stick together and show our wonderful bosses just what we think.
