Continuing the temporary thread drift, there are lots of TWATCOs ( two ATCOs, man & wife or even the modern trend I suppose! ) in NATS, so with pay for the working grade, ATCO2, almost £110,000 after approx 15 years at Swanwick, there are so very comfortable retirees from there.
Shame I left before some really big pay rises, so my son keeps telling me, and with a wife with only an OAP based on my contributions. All donations gratefully accepted!
