Dear Mr Arran,
If the NSC had not been built in Prestwick there would have been cries of foul play from all sorts of people trying to point out that the poor areas of the country were being shat on or god forbid if they decided not to have one in Scotland at all!
The fact is NATS and good business cases dont go together.
Are you saying for example that a brown field site could not have been found in and around Edinburgh with lots of incentives from the local council etc to make Nats relocate there.
And your point about us not asking questions is absurd.
We have been asking questions for years and have never been told the truth. Not once have we been asked about our preferences if we were to be moved. As has been said we were even given the impression they might have moved half the sectors up and half down (and that was not that long ago).
We are just another in a long line of situations in which decisions are made without thinking properly about the impact to the staff.
