I've just read through Widger's lengthy post, detailing the MATS rules for corrdination... and, surprise, surprise, they are virtually identical to the JSP552 rules... as has been said before, the difference comes in interpretation and implimentation?
The military controllers who are saying their method is the "right way" are taught to do it "the right way" at Shawbury, which is then re-enforced by every ATCEEB visit... But conversely, the Civil Controllrs have the similar reassurances that what they are doing is perfectly acceptable?
Have we ALL got too pedantic in our standardisation?
How can we be "standard" when the interpretation of mil/civ rules is so different... This is a real challenge for SRG/ATCEEB?
