I have heard that ALL ATCO's with a validation will be forced, kicking and screaming no doubt, to actually be an air traffic controller full time, and earn the pay!
Not sure I want all of them back, can I have right of veto please?
Also, my little bit of Swanwick is short of appropriately valid controllers so no doubt, given the usual standard of manpower planning, we'll be asked first if we'd like to 'volunteer'
