Hmmmmm. Touched one there eh....
The answer came from one of you, can't remember which. "Its not subsidised by the pension scheme, its subsidised by NATS" Thanks for that.
As for the "put on an electric hat and try it sometime" or "NATS lives off the backs of ATCO's" what a typical load of crap that is. Let us start a new religion then, should we.
I don't want to do your job, even if I could - you would not want to do mine. Even if you could.
Now seriously. I do my difficult job so that you can do your difficult job. Mutual respect would be nice as opposed to the world rotates around the ATCO's garbage that ruins any chance of true inter-grade/group teamwork.
