At this present moment in time I don't have a lot to complain about with regard to remuneration and holidays. I have it a lot better than most people. However, the outlook is bleak and as a result morale is slowly but surely slipping away. There are similarly qualified controllers elsewhere in the world handling much less traffic in less complex airspace and getting paid considerably more for it both in salary and benefits.
With the recent bout of bull**** to hail from the CTC and level 4, and with the inevitable continuation of that campaign in the near future, my loyalty to Nats is reducing by the day and the prospect of taking myself elsewhere to earn more than twice as much is very attractive.
