ED Set,
I hear you. I guess it may well be a case of the few spoiling it for the rest. I've taken your points on board and will discuss with my pilot friend your possible suggestion with NATS. On the positive side I wish you all the best and I do sincerely hope you and your pro-GA colleagues can sway those at Aberdeen to consider the grass roots of their industry with a more favourable stance. We're all in this together.
Good Luck
