Sorry guys, but you seem to be missing the basic fact that any enterprise as large as McNerc means "local development means local employment for local people", and that will apply from operational day one of McNerc.
For sure, there will be a few senior bods in place to ensure that things run smoothly for an interim period, but, with the exception of atco's and engineering, the rest of the staff will be local;
1- because it's cheaper than paying for anyone on a higher pay scale to relocate from Manchester.
2 - because, with the greatest of respect to atcas UK wide, ATCAs can be recruited anywhere, and trained locally and cheaply.
Sorry if that hurts, but it's fact, that when Manchester area is at McNerc, the vast majority of EGCC ATCAs will not be, and why should you be?
