Spot, I don't know you, but as an ex-Mil ATCO you are - by definition - my brother. I can only say that every ATCO's thoughts and very best wishes will be with you and that must be a comfort. What is happening to you and your family is an absolute disgrace; I want to write more but suspect that discretion is the better part of valour at the moment! When this appalling situation is resolved in your favour, I suspect that some spleen will be vented.
Well done GATCO and the support team. I remember when Crown Immunity was withdrawn and the Mil membership of GATCO shot up; we all knew what would probably be in store for us if this sort of situation arose. I also remember being told that "MoD would be right behind you" (!) and not one of us didn't whisper under our breath "we would rather MoD was in front - but suspect it won't be". Seems we cynics were right again!
Good luck - not that you need it.
