I have no problem with a combined section for all operational staff. As I was trying to say in my earlier posts this whole problem came about because PCS made a recommendation out of line with a section whose lead (by their own admission) they were always going to follow if it decided to fight. How can one now take PCS seriously? If you are going to dump your own leaders' recommendations and ballot when another section makes a stand then what on earth is the point of PCS being involved in the negotiations and why bother with a vote?
If we are to remain separate then you must fight your own fight and not climb on the ATCOs' bandwaggon and that means standing by your own vote. (I am amazed NATS recognised your change of position.) Personally I would rather we were one and stood together, better for all.
