P7, but why cancel the flow if the traffic is never going to get to the level where the flow measures would kick in?

It makes no difference. But having cancelled it, they can then put on NATSNET that flow was cancelled. So maybe I'm being cynical....don't want to change the habit of a lifetime, do I?

Also, what message is that sending ATCOs who haven't worked in the NVCR yet? If I was on leave and heard that flow had been cancelled already, I'd be rather concerned and feeling under pressure.

Yes, the transition has gone well, I'm not arguing that. There are good and bad points to it being a working environment. Personally, the good don't outweigh the bad at the moment.
