Jocko... we are all well paid for what we do in this company... that's the reality.
The job of an ATCO is a pressured and responsible one... but you earn more than the average policeman, fire fighter, nurse, teacher and even many doctors... try and tell me you're more important to society than them... ?
I've been accused of being "Anti-ATCO" a good few times in the past. The reality is I have a great respect for the job an ATCO does. As I have a great respect for teachers, nurses, doctors etc etc. (maybe not the police!) However, all of these people need the support of those in their organisation who may earn less and have less responsibility in the front line. Burn your bridges with those that help you through your shift and you'll soon work out exactly how valuable their work is to you.
I'm just not keen on arrogant tw@ts, no matter what their profession.
