Sorry Gonzo but the reason the flow was cancelled had nothing to do with "looking good" as you put it but was done because it was decided, the the Tactical Airport Co-ordinator that it was not needed.

Also, there have a been a whole lot of positive comments about the new working environment, including a number of controllers actually saying that they look forward to coming into work again. In a move as large and complicated as this one, there were always going to be a few issues (it would be churlish to expect none) but to say that there are loads of shortcomings is a bit unfair.

It seems that there only the naysayers post here, and I fully expect them to come back with a personal attack on me as they have in the past for saying this, but the transition has actually gone better than could have been expected up to now (which is a massive credit to both the transition team and the operational guys who have done sterling work since the switch) and the NVCR is proving to be a great place to work.
