Times are not as hard as management would like us to believe in the letter we received yesterday. The word on street is that management will get approx 10% of basic salary this year, because NERC has been reasonably successful. Successful, because of ATCO's making the system work as they always have done, and always will do, as a professional group of people.
The airlines have already reinstated 99% of their flights that they cancelled post 9/11. Things are on the up in a big way.
