Rumeroid ...
When the public find out what they earn and what rise they have rejected, 8.5% over 2 years, they will look like greedy stupid idiots.
Thats the attitude that I used to see towards the ATSA community from some of the old school ATCO's when I started this job nearly 40 years ago...gladly the majority of ATCO's now enjoy working as a team despite NATS best efforts to divide and conquer.
Dont forget you have got YOUR nice rise with little strings at the expense of the ATSA's...by that I mean cost savings in ATSA job losses.
I find it very hard to believe how you can do your job whilst your head is up your arse where it obviouslly is!!! Good luck for your future!
