About £100,000 at the moment.
Appears to be aiming towards monitoring rather than controlling, though at least 10 years away realistically, if not a lot more.
Yes if management/government get their way, expect reduced terms/conditions/numbers, lower pay rises.
Not completely but much heavier reliance, which is apparently great as long as they NEVER EVER go wrong. We'll see.
Still a great job, but more despite the 'system' rather than because of it.
