So Hootin and a roarin'
is it the ATCOs who work at the area centres that are really to blame?? Or do you just have a chip on your shoulder??
It is not a Tower/centre issue, regardless of money savings; it is a management/coal face worker issue.
I get sick of hearing poeple from airports bleating about how hard done by they are in comparison to people at centres. Yes, some airport ATCOs are underpaid, but this issue affects us all (apart from the couple of places that do not get HTD at the moment).
There was a comment recently on a thread about the pay rise, stating that it would be voted in because the Centres won again, whilst the airports were getting screwed! How the heck that was worked out considering its a percentage deal across the board, I don't know.
It's those sort of pathetic comments and in-fighting that must make the senior management rub their hands with glee.
