What happens within NATS after the pension results are in??
The NATS Pension thread has been one of the most subscribed-to threads in ATC issues, but is now dying a natural death.
Putting aside cries of 'Vote Yes' or 'Vote No', what do you think is in store for NATS in the near future? Below are my predictions, starting with my predicted vote result...
Prediction 1.
'The Vote'
62% Yes
38% No
Prediction 2.
Swiftly followed by a complete shafting on the annual pay award (I reckon 3% - which would be less than RPI)...
Prediction 3.
3-5% overall reduction in NATS staff by Jul 09.
Prediction 4.
Departure of Mr Barron within 18 months of changing the pension scheme.
Prediction 5.
Break up and shelving of some NSL contracts within 60 months of pension scheme change.
