A: Funny that isn't it....probably due to the fact that NATS business is about Air Traffic Control.........it's a bit like saying that NatWest's biggest outgoing is salaries of banking staff ! Come on !

A good analogy. Look at how many jobs have been lost in the banking sector in the lastfive or ten years.

Yes, and how many of NATS jobs could be replaced by on-line controlling? I can just see it now, two spotty kids with gameboys, plugged in Row34 on the Virgin A340, doing their own vectoring.
Alternatively how many of the banking redundancies were the profit makers at the sharp end of money making, and how many were the support staff at the counters ? Oh and how many of the money makers took a pay cut ?
