Aha, so you ADMIT there are problems then!!
So, the fact that RT was so poor, the headsets unreliable, the phones didn't work properly etc etc had no bearing on keeping the flow rates down?
Familiarity had something to do with the decisions to keep rates pegged on 4th FEB and slightly raised on 14th Feb, but the main reason was faulty, unreliable equipment
Has NATS openly admitted that everything at NERC isn't perfect? No. It would gain much more credibilty amongst it's staff if it came out and said something along the lines of "Yes we know there are problems, and we, our Engineers and ATCOs are doing a grand job in fixing it". Instead all we get is "Everything is fine", which patently, it isn't.
