If Lippiat is right (which I doubt as it would be logistically difficult) I would think about swapping your validations for some South bank sectors as Lakes would be top of the list. Maybe Daventry and/or North Sea too?

The idea (before privatisation) of MACC going to Prestwick was to balance the 2 remaining centres out (and provide more jobs to Scotland). Moving sectors North would balance things out and if there'll always be a pay differential, the relocation costs would be more than offset over time with the salary savings.

Unless someone has personal issues regarding location on the South coast, I can't understand why anyone would take a reduction in salary and the associated move hassles (including loss of validations or extensive travel to retain validations) to do the same job (possibly easier, maybe harder). Good luck to anyone who fancies it.

If there are no takers, will NATS then force moves on people? After all we are a mobile grade and signed for that on Day 1!
