Spaced Vortex.
I tnink you may be missing the point that for a lot of controllers this was not just about pay.We were wanting to use this opportunity to stick it to management/government and fight back.
But we have well and truely blown our chances now.
If you believe that our union(prospect) will be hard nosed and fight all the way for us in a year or two then you live on another planet.
I do however think that the incentives were heavily weighted to NERC and please correct me if im wrong but i wonder how many saw short term monetary gain over long term benefits.
