As for the comments about Barron and his Aston/bonuses. I hate the bonus culture NATS has for management, but until someone provides me with proof that Barron has these written into his contract I think we should refrain from making comment
Last year he earned something like £450k with a bonus of £200k, that is a FACT. The figures are available somewhere and have been mentioned as much several times on this thread already.
How many people think we will get public sympathy for going on strike over a reasonably good pension deal. Sure we all stand to lose a little but I personally think it is better than losing the lot.
In the event of industiral action, public sympathy has NOTHING to do with going on strike. I would say losing between £5-10k PER YEAR on my pension, which may I remind you is deferred salary, is more than losing a little.
