Yahoo may be right. atcos get a straight rate for their overtime duty taxed at 40% which hasnt gone up for a number of years. ATSAs get an hourly rate based on the current pay scales at double or triple time including travelling time and petrol money all of which is pensionable and therefore subject to maximum tax relief and therefore speaking for myself I probably do earn more per hour than atcos at either a band 5 unit or the untermensch at Aberdeen.
Who is the bigger fool????
