As an airline pilot VORs are largely an irrelevance for the kit I fly (75/76)DME/DME updating is preferred.In the vintage aircraft I own and fly basic navigation technique backed up by GPS means I avoid talking to you guys as much as possible,remaining clear and navigating accurately.There is little ATC can offer.other than a token (major units in the South East) flight information service.I don,t think GA will be very concerned at the demise of VORs.I certainly would be unwilling to pay to participate in the very poor level of service offered to GA in the South East by the major ATC units.Great service from you guys in the day job best in the world most probably but strap the light aircraft on and we become pariahs.I see this as the fault of your managements who fund only for minimum level to service the airlines,there,s no slack in the system.
