Bristol Beware!
Careful buddies...NATS will want to peg your salaries and keep you under-the-heel whilst promising wonderful things. They will post in several layers of lap-dog managers and you'll wonder what hit you.
Agree to NOTHING without good union representation from Day One. Transitional union arrangements during transfer of Employer leave you at your weakest in negotiating.....whereas in reality your "agreement" is the strongest hand.
Remember that you are about to be hit by a slick glossy-brochure package from an organisation eager to profit from all the hard work of the last few years and Bristol's phenomenal expansion....why not ask them why you have no Regulated Airspace even though you have over 50,000 ATM's a year....Oh Sorry....they won't know?
