throw a dyce is refering to the Banding system which still grates.
The difference in pay between the bands is getting even greater obviously now that we are banded. The bigger units earned more before the banding system as they were ATCO 1/2's and the rest ATCO3's anyway, but this system seems to have greatly widened the gap.
An instructor at the college who has failed validations will retire on a pension greater than my salary!! That's not right.
