"I'm sure they will go for the cheapskate options as usual and expect staff to drive significant extra distance at their own expense as they have done in the past. If only they could keep the goalposts still for once........."
Talkdown,
Why should this be the case? There is a corporate relocation policy and if you fit in and satisfy the terms then you will get a move.
My experience is that NATS don't want people commuting excessively. I seem to remeber though that you have to show a saving of 30 mins on the journey time to LACC from the new property against the old one. So if you are one hour away from LACC now then you would have to buy within 30 minutes of LACC-it stops you moving to the nice 5 bed place next door and letting NATS pay for it.
There is no doubt that even a company move is stressful and I wish all those that face it in the next few years the very best of luck.
