Minesapint: "CTC staff will need to be maintained in many areas to support / create future tools, they do not drop out of thin air!"
If that is the case why not transfer the apparently unrequired ATSA's to CTC to work on said projects. In doing so ATCO's may start to believe the people creating our future tools have an understanding of what is done on the shop floor, which by reading previous threads clearly isn't the case at the present time.
Nobody wants to see VR's at any time, but NATS will be shooting themselves squarely in the foot if they allow groups of people with years, if not decades, of hands-on-experience to walk out of the door.
A quick question on what this thread is actually about..... If we do manage to get a payrise agreed would it be back dated to 1st jan 2009???
