He said at his first barstool session at ABZ that he thought we as ATCO's were paid 20% over the odds. He also denied wanting to go after the pension scheme but look where we are now.
Given that the company is obviously short of ATCOs, which is reflected in the number of AAVAs going, I would say that we are probably worth at least 20% more. After all we are always being spun the line that to get quality CEOs, managers etc you have to pay the big bucks. As the company show by having aptitude tests, not everyone can be an ATCO, however, judging by some of the c**p I have come across both inside and outside the world of ATC, anyone can be a manager.
That's not to say I haven't worked with some very good ones.
