I too was at the SDC as an Airport Rep. The sense of unity was truly awesome and I feel we will eventually look back on this day and say it was the day the Branch grew the pair of balls that many of the members have been asking for.
Anotherthing/Mr777 etc. You know the score, your reps need your help to convince those that still have their heads buried in the sand that this is coming at them as wel,l and unless they stand up tall it's going to hit them right in the backside.
Finally, to our colleagues outside NATS,this affects you as well. Our management claim that they are uncompetative in the airports market and plan to cut our T&Cs to make us, in their opinion, less so. The only effect this will have is to give your management an excuse to cut your T&Cs to maintain their market position. Net result all UK ATCOs in a worse position.
