I could not help but view this post with some bemusement. The originator of this post comes on here as a father concerned about the future of his sons career and this enquiry is then extended to the possibility that this young man is an employee of the atsa grade. The raison d etre of this concerned father post was lost within five replies as the subject changed to employees of the atco grade, how great they are and their training regime.
In NATS there is a probability that many hundreds of your colleagues will lose their jobs voluntarily or otherwise, with serious financial, emotional, spiritual, and professional consequences that that situation entails. The possibility of people losing their homes due to being unable to pay the mortgage, grocery bills, utility bills, school fees, relationships breaking up due to the strain and possibly even worse.
I sometimes wonder if such breathtaking arrogance, egocentric, self absorbed, and selfish behaviour is a prerequisite for selection as an atco?
