something is stirring in town!?
There is talk of breaking news in town. Nothing concrete yet, but important enough for those in places to want to pre-empt leaks. Ears to the ground, and read the papers.

Should that have been 4(ac) sqn??
Rumour has it an NI Puma sqn will die when the Wessex bows out early in 2002.
Though in this case I think lack of interest is nearer the mark. First in last out is the latest I believe, but wash my mouth out for mentoning it. OOps , sorry sir

Keep it to yourselves but it was all to do with 'controllers pay'. We will be getting and extra £17.59 per day as Area Radar Controllers and £12.46 in the Terminal world (unless PTC where it will be £1.62.
The reason for the secrecy is because the Fighter Controllers will only get £0.24.
On a similar note I understand that all controllers at a certain RAF base have voluntarily given back last months pay so that they can retain their 'amateur status'!!! Hello Leeming!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Dear Deluded Air Traffickers,
Everybody knows that Controllers pay is intended to be a retention incentive for those highly skilled, extremely handsome and very witty professionals of the Fighter Control branch.
Any dribbler can give clearance across the active. I therefore believe that Controllers pay will be subsidised by an ATC salary cut. (Let me know when I should duck!) Hoorah and God Bless rumour control.
By the way, nice carrot and well dangled
Cheers ADIS

having read the papers it seems that the impending global economic disaster has meant that 2 sqns of fast jets, 1 helo outfit and both hercules are to be mothballed. Since this acounts for 82.3% of operational ac, the need for fighter controllers and ATC has been removed. The ops spt branch has been shut down with the exception of 2 air cdrs (obviously) and the rest of the RAF is on detachment. However, in an attempt to stop the flood of aircrew moving to highly paid consultancy roles in the new European Aviation Agency, flying pay has been tripled, pensioned and all backdated to the day you joined.........or did I dream it.....
