Talking Happy Christmas!

..and a happy and peaceful new year.

It has been a busy one for us UK ATCO's, as it probably has been for others too around the world. There have been a few a/c incidents over europe and elsewhere to reflect on and our thoughts go out to the victims families at this time of year.

I thought I would be the first and wish everyone a


HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

27/7??? So that's why NATS is out of sync. with the rest of the world??

If perchance, we could read the secret history of our enemies we would find in each man's life a sorrow and a suffering enough to disarm all hostility. On that truth, let go of emnity, tell your grudge that you no longer have a place for it, replace loathing with love, embrace your enemy as your friend. For when all is said and done, he is still your brother.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous, and above all, Safe New Year to everyone in the aviation community

Happy christmas to all you ATCO's et al - you've done a superb job (at lest as far as I'm concerned ) and we in the pointy end of things (I'll pretend to speak for everybody here ) greatly appreciate it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A SAFE, HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am shocked that you think we only work 24 hours a day. 27 is the norm these days.
