OK, so it's probably illegal to make that fifteen minute strike and, even if we could, it would be the customers who suffered rather than the greedy incompetents at the helm of NATS.
Surely it would be far better to destroy the credibility of NATS senior management in the court of public opinion. That would be hitting the REAL target and might expedite a few overdue departures.
So, how about a campaign in the friendly media along the lines of -
1. Those 62K and 215K bonuses add up to 277K
2. At the going rate that's over 500 additional ATCO attendances
3. If properly managed, EACH additional attendance could open an additional NERC sector for a shift
4. Each additional sector would be likely to prevent at least 500 minutes' worth of delay
5. That's a total of about 277,000 minutes of delay that those bonuses have CAUSED - a reward of one pound per minute to senior NATS management for delays directly CAUSED by their decisions
Dress that up with a few pictures of tearful families waiting in airport departure lounges and smiling mugshots of self-satisfied NATS management and any newspaper, magazine or TV programme could have a field day. That could prompt more public squirming by CC and others, questions in Parliament, and unstoppable demands for mass resignations at the top.
Anybody know a friendly journalist ?
