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".

Number2

can't say about the planned location...it was just the word from someone at the meeting, but as to moving because it's the 'right address'...I agree, daft!

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!

.. also Prestwick, Wales, the Moon.... The gods don't know, so believe any rumour you want. It probably isn't true.
