Peuce, you say:
I don't know about Executives, but does the fact that Airservices might, or might not, make some money (in line with it's shareholder's directions) make the equipment any less useful?
Yes, it may do. That is because there is a clear conflict of interest. That is, the organisation that appears to be making a decision that we go ahead with this unique system also makes money from it.
Naturally, they are going to push the system which increases their profits the most. After all, that is the job of directors and executives – increase the profit of the business.
By the way, as far as I understand, the top executives of Airservices receive a bonus (or part of their package) geared to the profits of Airservices. That means every decision is tainted.
It may be the most profitable way to go for Airservices and its executives, but not the best way to go for the country.
