Our traffic never dipped although crews told us that loadings were down on some services. We are now busier than ever!. .. .What I find particularly annoying in all this is that all of the airports (NSL) staff in NATS are working under individual contracts to the airport operators; our charges (and hence our revenue stream) are governed entirely by those contracts - which are (to the best of my knowledge, anyway!) totally unrelated to actual movements handled. . .. .If I'm wrong, and there is a relationship, then I'm putting in for a 12.5% pay rise as that's the net increase in traffic (ATMs) at EDI over the last year.. . . . <small>[ 24 March 2002, 10:54: Message edited by: 1261 ]</small>
