after many chats in and out of our ops room, with union reps and us mortals.... it seems nats are playing a clever game. all these sneaky tactics to make us believe that if this change doesnt get put through the whole company and our pensions are going bust by the close of 2009. this is simply not true, they are blowing smoke up our arses and the union has fallen for it to 'save' the company.
do they really think that we are naive enough to beleive the company will actually go to the wall? no flights in, out or over the UK... the government will never let that happen.
when ppp came in we were protected, and so that should stand. ATCOs ATSAs Engineers and office staff....lets stick together and tell them to ram it.
i am eagerly waiting next weeks briefings as i have plenty of questions for our week spined union and those snake nats manager types.
the next time our union is up for new reps, im sticking my name down?
