Fair enough Bill, I take your point about SRG - although there is still quite a strong link between them and NATS, but i guess that there always will be. i am simply not reassured by the "independent regulator" thing - even the lottery is not properly regulated (advertising in breach of agreements etc).
Basically though, i am not convinced that privatisation is a good thing - changes to pay and conditions would be a worry at least.
Having said that, somepractices within NATS need a shake up - we are a wee bit parochial in places....
As someone else said - we could do with more views on this - how many ATC PPRuNers are there?
