It I suppose makes some sense that most pilots did not really have an opinion until now. We at ATC have had these procedures and all of the paper work for quite a while and have been able to see the idiocy as it unfolded. Pilots have only recently received their info and from the new arrivals here are now adding to the growing concern.
Lets check a few things off here.
ATC don't think it is safe
Pilots do not think it is safe
A growing band of the Public (via their representatives) do not think it is safe.
NO JOBS WILL BE LOST FROM THE WORKFACE
THE TRAINING COST IS MASSIVE
So we have all the users and the customers saying it is not safe. Can someone tell me why we are doing this if it saves no money but costs lots for a degredation of service?
