Ahem Reborn,
Up for a management job are we? Sounds like you have been "re-branded" (where I'm from a Brand was something you stuck on a cows A*se)
You seem to forget the job of an ATCO isn't one that everyone
has the ability or aptitude to do. If NATS is truly a commercial organisation why should it's managers complain about the "going rate" for ATC staff. They are rare, skilled and valuable individuals, and you have to pay accordingly for their services.
I do not WANT to take any industrial action over my (and others) pensions. Believe me if I am pushed ANY futher I will. And that WILL have serious implications, far in excess of what the French have done.
It seems NATS has yet to grasp ALL the implications of pretending to run itself along commercial lines?
