White Hart,
To be frank, yes I think it (NSL) is a lost cause,
as we know it. If the union has the balls to stand up for NSL and fight to retain Ts&Cs, then I know a few reps that believe that some airports are ready to walk away from NATS at contract renewal time.
That is what I mean by NSL being screwed. Either the Ts ad Cs get changed or some airports walk away.
I do not want to see people working on different Ts and Cs, but at the same time, I don't want them to drop out of NATS by default. I think that NSL has been manoeuvred into a horrible corner. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I think this is the enactment of what has been inevitable since PPP.
Would I fight to keep NATS as it is, or rather to return to concentrating on doing what we do best i.e. ATC and not on trying to turn a profit and pleasing shareholders? Hell yes!!
Do I think the union will give me that chance to fight for my NSL colleagues? Hell no
