Before you all get carried away with guilt over your pay packet why not bear in mind that the mean pay for full-time workers in the city of London for 2008 was £82,084* - thats including cleaners, nurses, techers and other essential, but low paid jobs (if you strip women from the figures the mean pay was £98,923). Does the average NATS ATCO earn as much as that? Then surely we have a very average pay packet for doing a quite extraordinary job. Part of that package is the pension I was promissed - not some proportion of it with no meaningful future.
