SRG doing a good job?
How many Airprox's have ended with the recommendation 'SSR for Aldergrove'. It was ruled out each time due to cost for years.
I don't think it's even in now.

What about a vertical presentation of radar data of traffic in the holding stack ?

Still not on the cards.

The government claims this privitisation is different to Railtrack because we have a separate watchdog to govern us already.

That watchdog knows the biggest risk of a mid-air collision is in the stack yet NATS is doing nothing to remedy it.
How will SRG force a new owner to invest in safety when it cannot or will not force the present Nats management to develop and install equipement to make the stacks safe ?
