I personally expect Nats to close the fund to all new employees except ATCO's. This is consistent with their strategy of seperating them from other grades of ATC staff in collective bargaining. This would hamstring Prospect ATCO branch from taking any action to support other satff grades but allow the company to reduce it's cost base, with minimal risk of disruption, and reduce route charges.
A most errudite post indeed. That strategy would become a "fait accompli".
