So is the NATS issue on the back-burner now? Last thing I heard it was almost a dead cert with NATS making some long term plans for you guys.

NATS can plan til the cows come home. S'not a done deal til the airport agrees to it. And they haven't yet.

So not as straightforward as NATS management tried to make us believe - they thought that it was in the bag months ago. What sticking points are there or have you got a really tough negotiating team?

I think the main sticking point is their heads are stuck up their own 4rses. They seem to think they will just walk in and the airport will swoon and say yes.
Oh and the contract is a tad too expensive, so the rumour goes.

Oh, looks like we've lowered our standards
I don't think so, you've always had a 'good mix'!!

Sorry bit late reading this post, but why class A? Class A airspace is the easiest to work, I used to work it. Class D combining LARS is the most difficult, I used to work it. Bristol (if they have not found anybody already) should be looking for an experienced atco with at least 5 years fully validated (unlikely) ratings. Good look to them.

"Class D combining LARS is the most difficult,..."

...and Class G combined with LARS?

This obsession with Class A/D experience seems very strange logic.

How did the interviews go? When were they?

Does anyone know who the lucky winner (or winners) are?

Just curious.

Just my little joke Legs11.
The interviewees were of a good standard so I'm told, however, I've no idea who has been chosen as I've been on leave. Suppose I'll find out on Sat when I go back in. Suffice to say, the units they all currently work at were of the standard we would want and in one case, even I was a little surprised!

You might well be correct. And he/she might well be starting in September.
