Was watching "Despatch Box" last night on BBC2. They had some Labour bod on banging away about how it was the only way forward for ATC in this country.
One of his best howlers was that the money would "buy us more Air Traffic Controllers". Doh!! Why did I bother to do all that training so many years ago, they could have just bought me!!
When are these people going to realise the reality of the hard work that goes into becoming a controller? Your average "Joe" on the street probably won't, which worries me as this is probably one of the arguments they will try to throw to the public should we stand firm and take the appropriate action to end this sad, sorry fiasco!
Maybe it will go into the next session, but the invisible man, a.k.a. Johnny Two Jags, won't let it go. Where was he by the way when the Housing Minister presented the Bill this time? Probably scared the big boys would take his ball away.
