Just a few points to add into the forum from one who has alledgedly been around the aforesaid place for a while.
With the exception of the Engineers and some of the more senior support staff most of the "Support Staff" have been locally recruited by NATS or many and various Sub Contractors. They have been indoctrinated over the years by NATS Senior Management on site (Many of whom used to hold an ATCO Licence!!) with many of the following ideas before 'O' Date:
"Once ATC get here then you won't be allowed to use the Gym, Ready Room, Recreation Room, etc..."
"You lot will have to Park and Ride so that ATC can park"
.... and many many more daft ideas....
With that lot in their heads they started out resentful. This is totally wrong in my opinion.
Most of the troops are proud to have put this thing into service and want to support the guys that do the revenue earning bit in the ops room. That's certainly how I feel.
If you want to point fingers, I would start with Quality Street on the 4th floor along with the hangers on on the rest of the 4th floor. The troops are primarily mis lead...
Rant Over!
