Hootin an a roarin. You may well be completely correct-I couldn`t possibly comment!! However, as stated before, after already having been shafted in the previous 5 year contract, I do know that the guys & galls at the coal face on my watch do not have chips on their shoulders. They just do & have done, their best to provide a service to the customer, be it the airport authority or airline, under whatever circumstances are thrown at them!!
Just as you & all the other Nats controllers do at their respective units.
If there are controllers(or management bods for that matter) at EGCC who do have "chips" & "egos", then I`m sure they will know who they are & I apologise on their behalf. Please do not tar the guys & galls at the coal face with the same brush.
ps. I can hazzard a guess that under the new contract, we will no longer understaffed!!! However, we always have a choice in life- either work the new practices or move on to pastures new.
Rant over!!
