Well, it might be a hard lesson to learn chaps but we can't deny aircraft a better service just to keep us in employment. If the potential impact is as huge as you have made out it is essential that NATS and the IAA work together beacuse otherwise it would just be imposed on us and those potential problems become far more likely to happen.
The radar is there, we can't tell 'em to dismantle it. Well we could but they would rightly tell us to sod off.
