Heard today that all projects put on hold apart from NERC, (this includes NSC - so much for "Airspace" article!). Watch managers' budgets suspended, familiarisation flights suspended, liaison visits suspended. Significant drop in revenue from lack of transatlantic traffic - (44% of NATS income). No noticeable difference in European traffic at my Unit though. TAG looking for cuts of 2000 out of 5700 NATS staff. (PPRuNE gets a mention in "Airspace", by the way.)
