I think if history has anything to do with it there will be a sell out. There are way too many people looking out for themselves within ATC. ( not a bad thing at certain times ) If there was ever a time to stick together it is now.
Further more the original figures would represent the sort of pay rise that we should be looking at with out a reduction in our conditions. I know that the role that I have plays a greater role to the airlines than that of a baggage handler or refueller, yet some of our workmates are paid less than these guys.
I guess it is something to think about. We should really consider what we are worth to the aviation industry, not just to ASA.
