UK controllers are not resposible for the way that Nats is funded, traffic growth is already increasing, last Thursday up by 3%, and most controllers think this is going to be the busiest summer ever. We are some of the worst paid controllers in Europe, our payments for unsocial hours and for training are derisory. The Managers are not getting a pay rise this year , OK but the ones in TC got big bonuses on the back of the introduction of new sectors . eg East and Capital, for which they had llittle or no input. It's time that managers realised that their staff are the most important aspect of the company. I know that morale is bad at Nerc. but it's not that great at WD.
