Spoke to a Grade 1, and experienced, Instructor today. All the instructors she works with are dismayed by what they've recieved in the mail the last few days. Come to think of it I reckon not a professional I've asked about NAS has anything positive to say.
I can see a few positives in the NAS...but they are so few and so minor that they are swamped by the negatives....this change is not worth the agravation IMHO.
