Radar I think you've struck GOLD!

However, I'm putting a thousand bucks the other guy who is thinking about it isn't going to head back to his old unit.

DG's on his way back?

Would the other fella have burned his bridges at his old unit by telling them where they could stick the job by any chance?

V-L, nope, it's not the one you're thinking of (he wasn't NATS staff).

I like this game.

Cossack, never count your money at the table my friend

Is the guy you're talking about from a non-NATS airfield on the south coast of England, not too far from a certain ATC college?

Jerricho
No he's not from there. He's from, and going back to, a large airport near Windsor. Start counting it out!
Does that make it three then?

niteflite01
I'm touched I didn't think you'd miss me!
There are due to be four ex-MACC starting here next month though. Correct?

A large airport near Windsor? I didn't realise we had anybody over here from White Waltham.

I ain't counting it out cause in that case there are THREE!!!

Of course it's a dry cold.

At -40C, moisture doesn't stand a chance.

My views? There's no way I'm going to speculate. These are private, personal decisions people have made, for what ever reason, and shouldn't be questioned.

Nobody listens to me anyway . Just ask Hammy.
