So now we're ATSA bashing are we?
How many ATCOs turned up to the lobby?
Why did IPMS a few years ago sell CPSA (as was) down the river by accepting a pay deal we didn't want?
Why are so many senior jobs reserved for ATCOs when ATSAs would be just as suitable? There was a VN recently for a job that paid £35k, and yet was open to ATCOs and piolts, but not ATSAs
Why did ATSAs get the extra duties before ATCOs?
Since when did ATCOs care about ATSA pay anyway?
As long as all our senior managemnet are ATCOs, ATSAs are going to get a raw deal in NATS, because they seem to keep all the jobs "for the boys". And yes, i could name the jobs and the occupants if I wanted to.
Lets fight privatisation together, not take a wild swing at ATSAs.
