It probably IS nice if you're a Manager!! (I'd be happier if I'd got my long-anticipated carriage clock when I retired but it seems they were stopped just for the day I left! Yah boo fiddlesticks!).

Merry Crimble everyone..

NATS wedge up £20 per head to an organised bash - but as someone said before, it has to be an "official" bash. Those at West Drayton may want to ask around about the person who emailed the Red Barron about it

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year with no blokjes to you all, especially those on duty through the holidays.

Hey Lon,
You got out at the right time I've only got another 23 years to go!
But losing money out of the wage packet may just be the final straw and push us into some action!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you,
Millerman

NO we got £20 each for an organised official Christmas party. Its a tax write off but apparently they can write off an amount up to £150 per person .

Our company threw a massive party and I'm sure it cost them more then £20 / head. For the serious drinkers amongst us it was closer to £150 !!
Pity this poor sucker worked the night-shift

Merry christmas everyone

Millerman Don't forget the cuts hit us pensioners too. Plus the fact the Dutch want pensioners to contribute to the pension funds.
See you on the picket lines

I got a tenner less pension this month - is that to subsidise management bonuses?

HD Plan is to recalculate Eurocontrol salaries using a cost of living index 10% lower than previously.

Also considerable pressure on Ops. Staff to increase productivity etc. in a complete re-organisation, instead of trimming the number of support positions. In return Ops. Staff get nothing, whilst colleagues in CFMU are now graded above Operational Staff and still I believe getting all the perks of EU staff - such as tax free cars etc..Morale at an all-time low

I just received, for the first time in 35 years, a Christmas Card from Ops. management, if they want a cost cutting tip they can remove me from next year's list
