Well us at Manchester are looking forward to getting our even bigger and fair pay rise when we get equal pay!
Not one constructed from a deliberately tweaked formula!
I wish you lot at Manchester would stop bleating on about how unfair everything is, and how it's not right, and how you should be paid more and more, blah blah blah. You're Band 4 FFS. Looking at the current pay scales that means a bog standard ATCO at Manchester at the top of the scale will be on £70,122.07 [B]basic[B]. Add on to the top of that £5k+ for shift allowances thats a bloody good wage. So what if LACC get £8k or so more. I bet the cost of living down there more than negates the difference.
Pay a visit to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Farnborough etc. See how hard they work. Then remember that they are using [B]2 ratings[B]. (Not 1 like the MACC ATCOs) Then think that the guys at the Scottish airports are Band 2. Top of the scale for a bog standard ATCO? £56,060.87. At Farnborough? £55,282.77. That's a £14k-£15k pay differential from you lot at Manchester and £20k+ from LACC, TC, EGLL etc.
DEAL WITH IT!
annnnnnnnnnd relax............
