Having worked inside and outside NATS, I have to say the Channel Islands. Good money, 5 min commute, generally better weather than the mainland. Obviously less traffic a/c wise which may or may not appeal but it does have its own challenges. You work to live not live to work here

We get paid within 10% of NATS rates, a very nice area to live, reasonable management, reasonable rosters, equitable share of early go's and late starts, good equipment and working environment.
More to the point, when we need staff, we don't need to advertise - nuff said

Flow management in Brussels.
Excellent remuneration (daren't say how much), 43 days leave a year, excellent working environment and everybody hates it. So maybe the worst place to work despite all that?
Everyone's on strike at the moment so that has to be a clue!
Any vacancies in the Channel Islands?

"Retention Allowance"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonder if the exodus of staff to sunnier climes had anything to do with that? I can't see rest of NATS controllers sitting by and watching that one being eased in!!!!!!

Cape Town the best by far!!
Have worked in Europe and ME - CT takes 1st prize - great management, enough off time, only 1 or 2 not-so-nice colleagues, best city in the world and salary's not too bad either..

I'm very happy, but I'm a domestic engineer now - don't know how I found time to go to work. Missus, four kids and the dog to look after - must go and sort the laundry.
!!! Less than four years to retire and I can't wait.
