You beat me to it, chevvers! I would have been more than happy to have been a member of the LF LARS team again, however, despite 40 years loyal service including 23 years ATSOCA provision within the areas in question, the nats offer was derisory and laughable. Their loss! I blame the HR Director at the time.
