Interesting that NATS are still recruiting when they are looking for around 400 redundancies in the En Route operation (not all need to be ATCOs to be fair) and they may have to find jobs for Birmingham ATCOs who don't want to transfer to the new mob.

I think it makes sense. Get rid of someone at the top of the scale on the expensive pension and replace with someone cheaper on the cheap pension. I'm just wondering how long it will be until they create a new pay scale for new starters like they did with the pension...

We already have 2 sets of staff on different terms and conditions, 2 pension schemes remember!!!!

HR don't really have a clue what makes a good controller - this is just a numbers game... sorry, thread drift
