To all those who say shame on controllers for looking for the 6% payrise that has been agreed and independently assesed as being proper. I say why not.

We are not public service. The taxpayer does not pay our wages. It costs the man on the street NOTHING to pay our wages whether are 18 k or 250k a year. We are net contibiutors to the exchequer every year not just in tax but dividends to the dept of finance.

The IAA make 15 million profit every year yet we charge around 75% less than uk for the same service. We are consistently in the 3 cheapest atc providers in Europe. So why shouldn't we get the Market rate.

To all those begrudgers imbeciles and wannabees grow up and develop a brain to use before posting here.
