So how would they (the ones that would be motivated (and would you look at an accountants forum to get a balanced opinion on aviation accountancy?)) know to look for a discussion about a payrise within an ATC organisation in a forum called 'professional PILOTS rumour network'?!!!!
ffs
If they didn't, I wouldn't be here to answer you. There's no such thing as aviation accountancy. Again, the assumption seems to be that nobody else could be as smart as the ATCO.
A balanced opinion is formed by looking at an issue from a number of different perspectives.
Perspective isn't something you tend to see a lot of around here
