A bond could only be applied to somebody newly posted, not to somone who has been valid for over a decade, unless they plonked down a wodge of crisp fifty pound notes in lieu of s minimum time commitment to NATS.... hold on! thats a retainer!
Take heed NATS management, we liked working for "old" NATS. "New" NATS seems to be going the same way as the NHS - more managers than workers - and willing to screw everyone over.... and we ain't got not loyalty to any of you.!
