Well, let's look on the bright side.
A contractor or project manager is usually judged to be as good as their last contract or gig....with all of the bad press Swanwick has had recently, having NATS on your CV is going to make these contractors as welcome as a f@rt in a spacesuit.
See, there is a God...and she looks like Gwyneth Dunwoody.
But howcum the NERC and NATS management c.1992 to 1997 still have jobs?
