Having had an unofficial mini-briefing from someone who knows the in and outs of the met issue, it would appear there are very limited circumstances under which met would be undertaken by ATCOs where they do not already do it.
Also, the task is likely to disappear in a couple of years time anyway when SAMOS is introduced, so taking a "bung" now may not be the worst thing to do.
As for the new AAVA agreement, do not hold you breath for any change in the rate-per-shift !
