There is no reason why a re-nationalised NATS couldn't/shouldn't be kept entirely separate from the regulator. Times have changed since the PP was initiated in the late 90's.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did come after the operational staff a la BA but fortunately ATCOs are not quite so readily available or easy to train as a pilot. I'm not sure I'd want to be an ATSA at present though
Unfortunately Corbyn didn't win the last election, re-nationalisation is unlikely.
Out of interest, what do ATSAs do since Swanwick switched to EFPS?
