Fair point....I did not give up training as a protest against the pension issue,nor because I don't really want to do it anymore.I have had for a long time a growing sense of disillusionment with the company for whom we work.You and I both know what I mean by this....Destinations,Vision 2011...just read the AMAN thread on Natsnet for a classic example of management speak...the growing lack of recognition of ATC as our "core business",and the aggressive stance taken by all tiers of management towards operational staff.Frankly after nigh on 30 years here I have had about enough and made the decision that it was time to withdraw from certain voluntary tasks.No big deal as far as I am concerned,and maybe I am taking a stance....but if more of us did perhaps we might make a little more progress as a body.I do strongly believe that there is a responsibility on us as individuals to take action as well as via the union.
