It's probably just another step in Terminal Control's world domination plan. As they expand upwards and outwards, soon they will be doing all of Area Control's work and we'll have to renam LATCC just plain old LTCC.
Seriously though, let's have some discussions on what this type of thing can mean, and what the fears might be on both sides of the fence.
For example what is meant by the sleeping giant in NATS ? Would it be likely that NATS will employ the Luton controllers (if this change came to pass) or would it absorb the task into the current operation.
What do you think ?
