VT vs Serco
OK here's how it goes.
VT have been awarded the contract at Wattisham to supply Air Traffic Services and Lynx Simulators. The phase in program began on May 1st with August 1st being the date they will be expected to run the contract on their own without anyone holding their hand !!
At the moment it is not clear how many of the Wattisham Controllers will elect to stay with VT but there will certainly not be a 100% transfer across. So far the VT presentations have been poor and have done little to put at ease controllers and assistants who are still deciding, indeed if they continue to win friends at the current rate then will the last one out please turn off the lights !!
Only now are they advertising for vacancies at Wattisham and allowing for the recruitment phase, periods of notice to be served, subsequent training and validations they should be fully contract compliant by Christmas (year TBA !!!)
