Have to support Aunt Rimmer on this one. After all, sectors from down south are gradually being moved up north precisely because Scottish can handle them without the major delays imposed down south. Just watch the flow rates jump on North Sea next year!
Also a false impression that it is only a few aircraft, it is busy, and without the restrictions. Would be even busier if the flights could get through London area.
And don't forget the Ocean, that's also at Prestwick. Numbers rising again, no radar. Gets busy there too. No longer an easy unit to validate at, just ask those that haven't made it. That was unheard of 10-15 years ago.
Forget unit pay differentials. The ones we already have between ATCO2 and 3 stations cause enough problems as it is. Do we really want to create more division. I thought we were a team!
