I think you've misunderstood me. Would you like to be "TUPEd"? The ATCOs I know are fully aware that a new company taking them over only has to match Ts and Cs for a certain amount of time... then they claim they can't afford it and offer a much worse deal knowing that said ATCOs will have to accept it or go elsewhere. I would never be as obtuse as to speak for everyone, but the tower ATCOs I know applied to
NATS for a job, not the unit they ended up working at. And now some are being knocked back for training at NERL units because the training depts are only accepting them if NSL pay for the training. Hmmm....
So, if PB walks away from a load of contracts and 80% of the staff involved insist on staying with NATS, he WILL have a case of too many tower controllers, not enough jobs. Take the TUPE or eff off, surely?
I know you'll prove me wrong somehow
