Ayr TC,
Always Lossie to be very helpful as there is a lot of traffic works directly between the two units and never talks to ScACC.In fact 50% of our traffic never talks to ScACC ,and that is the traffic which is easiest dealt with.
As for the image of Aberdeen,well I think that NATS management and the unions have managed that beautifully over the years.ATCO2/3 farce,high turnover of staff,Downgraded to Band 2.Highest growth of the BAA airports in the last few months,and with oil price at an all time high,probably one of the most vital airports in the UK.Wait for the next Oil boom.What will we get;Probably Band 1 next!
As for your last statement then if you admit it then thats fine.Just wait til you get busted to Band 1.
