Jocko, your arrogance is staggering.
Firstly, to generalise and say that all ATSAs are paid too much is wrong. Don't forget that many ATSAs are now undertaking tasks that were once ATCO responsibilities (FIR, Gatwick lighting panel, Flow, and the previous SSA tasks at LATCC to name a few). Does that mean that you think that ATCOs were overpaid when they undertook these tasks?
Are you aware of all the ATSA tasks around the country (TC, Swanick, MACC, Oceanic, Heathrow Tower?) or are you baseing your sweeping comments on just your unit?
I don't begrudge you a penny and think that all ATCO deserve far more than they get paid at present. Obviously perserving your ego is just as important as any pay rise you will get.
If HCS fails tomorrow, stand up and tell the ATSAs who will be running around like headless chickens that they all get paid too much. I'm sure that will be much appreciated.
