It's ok flower, I we have a few exponents of that style on our team already!
Although maybe you could teach them a thing or two.

Oh for goodness sake, you lot just don't get it, do you!?
Were only interested in silly dates that keep being put back, we don't actually want to join, we just want to be kept waiting. It's so much fun.

The contract is finally signed and Bristol have made the front page of NATS intranet news.
Good to have you onboard Bristol

Well speaking as a customer all I can say is that both Cardiff and Bristol air traffic are equally marvelous as a product.

Whatever the politics or issues the fact is that all the customers I know who use your service every day rate it highly - from both suppliers. So whatever happens in the future just keep on doing what you are doing.

I have particular interest in BRS ATC as I spoke to them on the first day of Go-Fly operations into BRS. Just a blink of an eye later and there are 8 737/319's parked every night plus a growth in the incumbent operations. You've coped well and developed seemlessly with the pace of traffic at the airport. I've noted improved procedures every couple of months and the way various incidents have been handled have been spot on. You have a lot to be proud of and I hope that continues under NATS.

Cheers

Join the fleet

Hearty welcome Bristol buddies!
Ah....I can picture it now.....the swift frigate "Brizzel" joins the cruiser "Cardiffboyo" and falls in line with the mighty aircraft carrier "Swanwickus".
It's all a game really....called monopoly. You've joined a not-for-profit organisation that made a £68.8million profit year-end 31st March 2005; but don't worry because now you have shares.
UK Gov 49%
The Airline Group 42%
BAA 4%
Employee sharetrust 5%

You will not believe how small a pay rise we have been offered after a continuous stream of fantastic performance headlines through-out the year.

Could I be serious for a brief moment ...did you get your pension thing sorted....and do you have Union representation settled?
RGDS.

055166k - no, and yes. I'll try not to get too excited about the shares, I hear they're worth less than the bog roll.

"....on a dark Somerset highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of NATS, rising up through the aaaiirr...."

Still, it brings the quality of NATS ATCO's up a notch, eh guys?

. Not quite 055166K.

NSL is unregulated and is therefore an entirely profit motivated part of the company.

Sleep? Sleep? We ain't got time to be sleeping, we're busy, busy busy!!!

As for the 20 year contract, knowing my luck (where NATS is concerned) it won't be renewed and they'll screw me over when I'm in my fifties, just like they did when I were in my twenties!

To be fair, I think the statement made at the time was "not for commercial return" - there is a difference
