What planet are you on zooker?
I worked for NATS for over 35 years.
None of the ATC staff that left/retired/ or moved to Scotland had anything whatsoever to do with ATC at MAN. Completely seperate enterty & seperate contract.
What the local ATC Managers thought about it was also irrelevant, the decision to move the unit was nothing to do with them. So, yes everyone moved around the company to various locations, not just the managers.
