IDEA CONCERNING THE SAMOS ISSUE
Now that it is abundently clear where things are heading with ATCO's replacing the ATSA's providing MET OBS, may I suggest those ATCO's at Airports that really are concerned about the lose of ATSAs to make a strong statement in the following way.....
ATCO'S who agreed to provide Met Contingency should withdraw from the scheme and force a re evaluation of the whole SAMOS issue.
Yes, it may cost a few pounds from ones salary but lets be honest, they aren't paying us that much to begin with! I believe it would force management to drop the ATCO SAMOS condition from the Pay Deal.
Someone needs to make a start so guess I'm gonna be the sacraficial lamb. We need to do more than just talk a good fight. I hope some of you out there will do the same. If it is dropped from Pay Deal we can agree to night contingency again. If not, at least we have made our feelings strongly felt and sent a clear signal to management.
