Unfortunately with 'Talkback' the vast majority of the 'tick-box' questions are centred around the performance of your immediate line manager, though there are one or two more generic ones.
That said, even the more generic ones don't really lend themselves to stating how you really feel about the way the company is going - "Are you proud to work for NATS" - well actually, my answer would have to be 'yes'. NATS as a company, with its aims (ANSP provision) is a very good company and a good industry to be in with an above average percentage of talented people (All grades), and because of those people, a good place to work.
What I am not proud of is the direction the company is being taken.
Fortunately, there is a box at the end that you can write comments in - it allows you 3000 words... worth the 10 or 15 minutes making views known, if you have any

I assume that £47.1million figure is after shareholder dividens have been paid? Although in effect a true 'profit' figure as it shows what is left for the company after all costs, it doesn't reflect the fact that for a company said to be struggling with its present and future commitments, we will still give the airline group a whopping dividend.
The same airline group that is putting pressure on us and the regulator to reduce our charges, one of the reasons management are bleating about future costings!!
