FTDK, in theory, they won't be able to put you off for much longer. The Flightwatch responsibilities are being relocated to the ATC Consoles.

However, notice I said "in theory". Even though ATC will be the only ones able to give you the WX/Notams/Briefing that you are after ... separation services take priority ... so, conceivably, if the ATCs are busy doing separation work (as they should).. they will knock you back and there will be no one else to give it to you.

Ah! That is, unless they create standalone ATC positions to provide Flightwatch services.

It's groundhog day !!!
