quote :- Blindingly stupid move if you ask me. Pay the students 10k a year and then ask them to live/commute in West London. Nice!!!
My CATC spy tells me that the theory was 'floated' at the staff meeting that the compass centre will have an associated hostel/hotel to make the centre of excellence a 'residential' college, thereby eliminating some of the low salary/cost of living issues. Arquably (and you will ) quite a clever solution. Doesn't help the staff though; particularly the ATSA's as someone mentioned earlier.

Lest my previous post be construed as supporting the possible move to the Compass Centre , I was merely hinting at the possible demolition of some northside properties in support of a new Heathrow runway, and the effect on any relocated staff.
Now that's what I call

'the compass centre will have an associated hostel/hotel'
Are BA really about to give up their crew accommodation opposite the Compass Centre or are you talking about another hotel/hostel elsewhere?
It's a really poor idea just to have the 'right address'. Reminds me of the saleswoman in Bournemouth justifying the ridiculous cost of her apartments - "It has a very prestigous post-code".

Tori Chelli,
Although an embuggerance to ATSAs who have been living in Dorset - they will be no worse off if the move goes ahead than those ATSAs who already work in the London area... yes they will be worse off - bit it is already being managed by ATSAS here

CTC is the rumour on the street. NATS (if they're clever will offload LHR CTB) for a large amount of cash and if they need to, locate admin/support to a cheaper site nearby. Swanwick doesn't have the space for CATC and I hear they are going to enlarge CTC. BUT....
1. When have NATS done what makes sense?
And....
2. What do I know, I'm just a grunt!
