Hootin'
Life's magic buddy, really pleased with things. Give us a call.
The rumour about a deal was knocking about before I left.
On arrival here I asked the main boss about it. No such deal exists.
The position here was that they would take no more than the 4 LHR controllers in 2008 (4th starts in November) reason being so as not to completely mess up LHR's numbers and be friendly. 2009 however, is open season. They want as many NATS trained controllers as possible for both airports. Two more start in January, they see it as supply and demand, they'll pay one of the best ATCO's salaries in the world, come and get it if you want it. (Their words not mine)
Scarf not needed here!
