I'd really like to know how much the Mgt Tea, at Swanwick have got.

Then I'd like a bit of it - why shouldn't the operational staff be given targets and so they can get a big pay-cheque if reached. Such incentives may put a bit of enthusiasm back into the ops room.

Why should we work more traffic than the stated TSFs and not see the rewards. It's obscene that benefits based on our sweat are paid to the suits. I'd like a car and BUPA too................

Mr Manager,

As for defining succesful, from this side of the fence there does not to appear to be much to be on offer. NATS at present - uncertainty over financial issues ( spare cash or not ) , uncertainty over jobs, unhappy atco workforce, unstable area control equipment etc.

Leaving to find further gainful employment elsewhere. Shouldn't be too long before the laughable manning projections for atco's are further put into dissarray by the odd one or two deciding that enough is enough. Shame really, bit of a disgrace that atco's and many others take great pride in doing , as you say, an exceptionally difficult job in a highly professional way that is applauded and envied worldwide - except in One KS.

Disillusion creeps further and further......
