viaEGLL,
I am sure that it wasnt meant to be flippant, but your remark about the "hard done by ATSAs" comes across like that. The "hard done by ATSAs" are not some anonymous group of people, but colleagues who you have worked with for years, who are individuals with wives/partners/children/mortgages and who are very concerned for their futures because of those great responsibilities. In a few years when with the advent of new technologies ATCOs are being made redundant I would like to think that I would be a little more sensitive to their plight.
