Hear! Hear! Flower.
I'm in my second stint with NATS now, and thankfully, we have none of the 'them and us' here at Brizzel. Our ATSAs are worth their weight in bacon butties (anyone who knows me will understand how much I value a bit of pig in a bap!), and are the best I have worked with in my times with this company. A certain manager (who shall remain nameless) tried to persuade Brizzel to reduce ATSA numbers a few years ago, and failed. We rely on them to do jobs that we do not have time to do and are very highly valued by Brizzel ATCOs.
PS FWIW, I think they deserve to be paid more Mr Barron!
