Duh - Of course the Scots like their whisky without the 'e'

Not Long Now it may surprise you that quite a few MACC controllers that I know off have actually applied to move to NERC and been told NO completely ruins your idea's of a typical MACC controller HUH?. Because of the way things appear to be going morale wise, which is resulting in people jumping ship to canada in ever increasing numbers, we haven't got the staff, and as I said in my earlier post people with the sort of views that started this are surely something that we can all do without, the constant "my unit is better than yours" and "you'd never validate here..." etc. etc. borders on playground childishness!!!!

Question When?

As an outsider, and having found no info in the NATS website, could I ask when this move will be taking place?

Hey White Rose, you are obviously from t'other side of the Pennines and lets face it, nothing can compare with God's own county.

Just for the record, though, Scottish beer IS crap which is why most people drink Stella, Becks, Bud and the like.

Scottie Dog - the move is rumoured to be happening in 2008 / 2009 when MaccSNERC opens it's doors.
