Re The "Restructure".....

Ref quote;...'No impact on the provision of...services...etc etc'
Sounds almost like 'THAT' mantra of 12/12/91 ...will it show up again here....
"Your Safety Will Be Enhanced And It Will Cost You Less"!!!!
Well, Has it???
Costs (in total) have gone ballistic....And where is the safety now??
Air Traffic (Lack of ) SERVICES!!!
e.g. Lack of VHF "Flightwatch" freqs.
Reduced HF facilities.
NDB's not being replaced...etc etc...
And, notwithstanding ALL of the 'other' restructures since 12/12/91, and the deletion of that COSTLY Flight Service FIS / Traffic 'Thing', (purported to cost $100M, $80M, $40M, $24M....) how long do you think it might be before the 'bean counters' try looking at the cost of providing your present 'Traffic Information Service' advice by ATC, at their higher salary rate?
Restructure??
Just cynical is all
