One slight problem here- NATS can't afford to pay everyone the same salary unless the top of the scale was ,say, only £40k. Now which of the scales would you prefer?- what we've got now I bet.
But yes,I agree with WV the folks on the T&D should be a bit more long term in their views. Improvements do take a long time to achieve. Lots of jobs going at other centres /airports around the world. But oh yes , one slight problem, you probably don't have the EXPERIENCE to go for them.
Just out of interest cxi how long should the scale be?
