how long before NATS comes back to us and states it cannot afford the pension for current members?

Some NATS ATCO's are SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERPAID. I can only give my opinion on Swanwick (TC & AC), Heathrow and Gatwick. The caveat being that they actually spend their working time controlling air traffic, not sitting in an office. (Copenhagen ATCO, 2 sectors = £100k).
Also with your huge pay you will be wanting a huge pension at the detriment of others down the ladder. Wasn't this one of the causes of the recent pension problems? Underpaid? Some people are never satisfied. Why don't we make you band 10 and all have a company Aston as well?

Its all getting a little tedious now..I'm sure you are big enough and ugly enough to let it go..PLEEAASSE...for Gods sake grow up..life moves on.!!!
Rant over.
And please no return fire.

Can someone explain to me the relevance of this ludicrous clothing thing in this thread?
Who cares what ATCOs wear? Clearly we don't, so why should anyone else?

Are you with the "Fashion Police"?
And if it really bothers you what operational people wear..tell them!! (don't know what the response will be, but can imagine)
Your age is obviously a jest..but either way you are a sad (or lucky) individual if thats the only thing you have that concerns you.

Dont worry Frank, there will probably be another move to get everybody into uniform when the Company is restructured, with NSL disappearing up its own ar*e, and NERL rebranded as NATS EnRoute Division, or NERD for short (the posters and brand logo should look great - how about some suggestions??)
It'll be flip flops with diamantes for all staff (to reflect the new profitable status of the Company, no doubt), but the ATCOs will obviously demand gold braid on their shorts , the cost of which will be deducted from their reduced salaries.
In the meantime, Frank, keep winding them up - it makes for a giggle if nothing else!
and the rest of you more serious types should all be thinking of what you can be doing with all that 'dry powder' you've got stored away..... no, seriously.

Is there any spare dry powder? I'm doing a patio and the price of cement is scandalous on a Band 2 wage.

Don't even joke about that as it's apparently already been mentioned at LL at management level as potentially a road to go down!! I know what my response will be, unless they're going to supply said uniforms at their expense!!!
When will people realise that it makes absolutely no difference what clothes you wear as to how good/bad you are at your job?!?

12.5% pay rise anyone??
It's nice to be joking around about sandals whilst information is released about the company's annual report and accounts.

Anyone else fancy a 12.5% pay rise?

That would be over half (a majority) of ATCOs that voted then......
