Widger FYI paperless systems have been in use for a very long time. At Maastricht, for example, since the late 1980s.

Ongoing development work at Bretigny s. Orge parallels a lot of what I saw on NewModelATC's site during a quick browse through, However after more than 35 years in ATC, quite a few spent in the development of systems, I tend to shudder and move on when someone says their arguments are irrefutable or that theirs is the only way forward.

I remember endless arguments between ATCA in the States and a pilot who was convinced his vision of Free Flight was the only way to go. (Scott Voigt knows lot more about this )

Controllers are a very conservative group, so if you are looking for support I suggest you remove some of the polemic statements if you are soliciting their support
