In response to aeroflop, everyone who works in Air Navigation Service Provision deserves every penny they earn, but the Irish are taking the mick! Their gravy train is going to run off track very soon as Ireland, as a nation, is nearly bankrupt and they cannot afford the pay rise, so be thankful you have a job.
And I do work in for an ANSP, so my voice has just a much right to be here as you, and no I'm not management . So get off your high horse!
And I apologise for the unintentional pun earlier.
Please search Paul Gogarty on You Tube, he seems to know about the 'screwed' Irish economy.
