To the best of my knowledge;
- ATCO's have, and are being consulted, on the process and the functionality of the system. The three EFPS units are represented (mostly by experienced, operational ATCO's) and the implementation teams at the units are constantly being updated and included
- HF have made an assessment of the system and given it the nod
- EFPS is being prejudged. It's yet to go live at STN, and you never know, it may work....
If you feel you're not being consulted, what, apart from using an anonymous bulletin board, are you doing to find out what is fact and what is fiction? It's obvious there's a lot of mis-information about, and want it or not, EFPS is coming.
And Cossack's right, change happens. We have to get used to a new way of displaying our flight data, just like we did when we left DAT&S or moved to another unit. Some people aren't so lucky, they have to get new jobs.
