Groomed or better informed ? Personally I won't be making up my mind which way to vote until after the briefings when I've asked some questions of those advocating a Yes vote. In the interest of fairness perhaps those advocating a No vote can provide some answers to the other questions I have to ask

If NATS putting back the money from its pension holiday really is the answer exactly where is it going to get that money from ?

Even if the regulator allowed pension passthrough do you really think the airlines could afford it ? What would be the effect on the industry of a 30% increase in fees ?

If there is a strike how long would NATS remain solvent before it goes into Aviation Administration ?

I accept that Band 5 ATCOs will probably survive administration but what about NSL staff, ATSAs, ATCO trainees and non ATCOs ?
