Folks,

After receiving many applications from NATS staff to join, it is probably time for a couple of points to be made to make the process a little smoother for early go.

Firstly, anyone wishing to join has to be registered with PPRuNe. You will not be able to use your email address, real name, or staff number to gain entry to the private area, unless that's what you register as your PPRuNe member name. If you wish anonimty, I'd suggest that you use none of the above but make an appropriate name up for yourself. Look at other posters names to see the sort of things people think of.

Secondly, applications for Forum entry should go to early go and not Danny, me, or PPRuNe Admins. This is clearly stated on the blurb alongside the NATS Forum details. Sending it to anyone other than early go may result in a delay to your application being processed, as it will have to be forwarded. It also places an increased workload on already busy PPRuNe staff.

Finally, please read about the details which are required in your application. One or two have missed things out which requires further email correspondence to obtain the information, and leads to a further delay in gaining entry.

I am told that we have close on 200 NATS staff who have now recieved entry details and a few more joining each day. Thank you all for your interest and input.

For the outsiders, I think it is safe to say that the topics being discussed behind closed doors are being raised here where there is a wider implication or interest outside NATS. I am sure that will continue. And it means that those who moan about topics such as car parks no longer have to 'suffer' such trivia. A good start to the NATS Forum.

Although I am not a NATS employee, when it comes to NERC I am hardly "looking on from the outside", to use PPRune Radar's phrase. I've spent the last few years trying to get that pig to fly.

I agree that a NATS-private forum is the appropriate place to discuss issues like pay, and working hours, and to air gripes and gossip.

But a lot of what used to go on in this forum was just ATC ops. I've found that sort of discussion most helpful (though I rarely post, I lurk here almost every day), so I hope you all will bring it back to the open forum.

The aforementioned pig appears to have achieved lift-off.
