No ATCO's at Coventry since November 2017

True. The IPCS/IPMS/Prospect rep at Farnborough was often arguing with ATCOs Branch hierarchy because of decisions they took which were detrimental to Farnborough ATCOs interests, station banding being one subject.

As a Watch Supervisor at EGJJ I sat on the Executive Committee of the Civil Service Association representing ATCOS & other Civil Servants. There was no confliction of interest & I don’t think anyone who knows me would accuse me of being a “management lackey” ( whatever else they might think of me !) The joint Chairman was the head of the Immigration Service. Nowadays, the Association is affiliated to Prospect but I have no idea if any ATC management are involved in it. There is, in my opinion, no reason to suggest that anyone in a management role would not be able to properly represent the “ workers “ in negotiations with the employers.

What vacancies are we talking about again?....

Agreed. Perhaps if people want to talk about the effectiveness of Prospect, they could start another thread? If unit banding is the issue, perhaps starting a thread in the NATS forum might be better.

good egg,

Good question.

Carlisle (x2)
Southend

EGNC for me then, good egg.

Is there a link?

Wick, Kirkwall, Battersea if you prefer?

It seems there’s a shortage out there...which can only be good news for ATCOs who are looking to move airport.

FISO vacancy at Shobdon.

Is that 12k less once valid in 2 different radar positions? Ill pass.

I was looking at getting back up to the NW where I'm from but things look particularly turbulent at Liverpool after making some enquiries:

You can earn more at sister unit Durham than if you have Liverpool TWR, Radar and Doncaster Radar ratings. Confusing.
Pension is 6% !
Last 3 vacancies unsuccessfully filled.
Single man night shifts H24
Prospect 'blocked'.

Looks like things have fallen way behind. Shame.

1 unsuccessful, 1 other vacancy from June(?) last year physically hasn't been filled. I'm not sure about the other one, could be either. And then you've had a few leave for Manchester and I don't know what they're doing about that.

Liverpool looks to have its head in the sand with regards to the current job market. There are others, of course - some other medium sized airports in the North spring to mind.

If these units want want to attract and retain quality staff, then they will have to wake up and smell the same coffee that appears to have been served nice and hot at Southend.

ANS still advertising for Gatwick and Edinburgh - any ideas on the salary and T+C etc for Edinburgh?
