Budgets
Sorry guys you are missing the point. If the user requests and is willingly to pay them ASCOT will organise the route accordingly. It is up to those that put in the requests for AT assets to bid correctly. Crews cannot just self divert to other bases because its a good idea, shame as it might be. Direct your complaints to your own chain of command rather than give the AT crews a hard time for just trying to do their job with very old equipment.
