It's alright to say for someone who's probably taking home in excess of 4 grand a month, probably joined as CAA, trained over a few years on a wage that 10 years ago was double of what I get now (that's in absolute terms, not adjusted to inflation !!!!), had a pension (albeit now reduced) and maybe, just maybe, even had a chance to work where he/she would have liked to.
4 GRAND?...Band 2 ATCO Watch Manager earning waaay less than that. Working in NSL and trying to keep the contract. Why should we train ANYONE to go work for a competitor?
Ask BHD how many ex NATS atco's they have. Ask Dubai how many ex NATS Atco's they have.
And don't call me MATE!!
