Foghorn, General Kirby and Ballstroker -
thanks for the info... glad common sense prevailed (speaking as someone who spent a year on the V scale, as it was, before getting real ATCO pay only to watch others getting rewarded for failure).
As for PB - is the 9% true? If so I'm really pleased for him what with that and his bonus. It's just a shame the company can't afford to give anyone else a payrise (obviously they can meet bonus payments). Never mind, as long as PB is sorted, that's fine.

Surely your post on the 2nd April was a day late?
Just a few questions to anyone in the know -
Who will provide the LARS from the CTC?
How will they be legally able to
... land the London TMA traffic if Swanwick was nuked/suffers act of terrorism/roof collapses (I am not joking)!
considering the licensing issues - There are a whole load of legal ramifications regarding carrying out the function of a sector you are not qualified on, the use of frequencies etc.
As you say JJJ - I think the PRNAV idea for the whole of the LTMA by 2015 is pie in the sky. Of course, NATS management might be thinking that by then they will have devised a system that means that they can control the weather...
9%... !!!!
