Heathrow get what they deserve
After the receipt of our memo at London Heathrow ATC, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the guys from Prospect. Their tireless efforts in negotiating the forthcoming £15k annual retainer for all Heathrow tower controllers have not gone unappreciated.
Finally, big jets = big money

All power to Heathrow's elbow, it's just a shame that Prospect aren't interested in representing their members interests to such an extent when it comes to "minor units" interests....

According to my union representative the HBP (Heathrow Bonus Payment) will come into effect in May's pay and will be backdated to January.
All valid ATCOs will be paid at the same rate.

This is a joke isn't it????????
An extra 15K per annum just to keep people at LL????
If it's true I sure as hell want to know what Prospect will be doing to help out the people at smaller units (some of which ex LL controllers fail to validate at (maybe they're not as good as they thought they were))
Otherwise, I'll be leaving the union pretty damned quickly

Got the letter today.
Looks f$*cking great, but I'll believe it when I see it in the bottom right hand corner.
My letter also mentions similar payments to other busy units. Anyone have any info?

My first instinct is that this has got to be a wind up. As it isn't on the NATS forum (who nobody seems to use these days) I must reply here.
If true then it spells the end of Prospect. There is no way they can negotiate any bonus for the poor overworked Heathrow Tower controllers (it surely cannot apply to the guys in TC who do APP for EGLL) without anybody hearing about it until we have a fait accompli.
In fact my second, third and fourth instincts are also that this is a wind up.
Tell me I'm right please!!

Over in the tower yesterday on a practice "TC Evac", and I have to say, morale over there was incredible. Maybe Prospect have played their cards very close to their chest, and may be more to come.
