Sorry, I should have added a bit more clarity to my post.
The post I was quoting seemed to imply that it was possbile for controllers working for one ANSP (HIAL) to be 'redeployed' to Glasgow (NATS) to address what is claimed (even though the NOTAM makes no reference to it) to be a shortage of staff.
This wouldn't address any shortage in the short to medium term as any Wick controller would have to be trained to validation at Glasgow. One just can't turn up at a brand new airport and start controlling.
It's the same as thinking an ATPL with experience on Twin Otters can jump straight into a 787 and start flying it with no further training.
My post was trying to articulate that this redeployment en mass wouldn't happen now between two airports of the same ANSP company, let alone between two of different ANSP companies.
The only way a Wick ATCO would end up at Glasgow is if they resigned and applied to a vacancy within NATS.
