pug4,
Know of a few of my university peergroup who looked at NATS but turned away when looking at Pay and Benefits. Perhaps management will start to take note.
Your peers must have set their sights quite high then to turn their noses up at a career that could ultimately see them in the top 5% of earners in the country. Best of luck to them.
When it comes to pay and benefits, despite the way my colleagues moan at times, NATS are actually up there with the best of them.
