have to agree 100% with roadrunner
If you are not keen on relocation then you are probably applying for the wrong career. NATS , now more than ever, is less interested in its employee's needs and more in its own. sorry to sound down beat as well, but thats the truth. IF you go approach then you could end up anywhere in the country, including manchester. if you end up in area then its southampton or prestwick.
As for salary, it a contentious issue. The union democratically negotiated varying rates dependant on complexity , level of traffic and a whole range of other reasons. consequently , where you get posted affects how much you can earn. the highest paid are the area people at southampton as well as the two main london airports. then the area people at scottish and manchester then there is a sliding scale .If you need exact figures i'm sure they are available somewhere on t'internet.
best of luck! its an interesting job despite all our moaning
