NOTAMs suggest it's been off for at least a month and a half, possibly longer I think due to a spare part waiting to be paid for. I've heard that management even asked the engineers how much extra work it would create for ATC if the glidepath was removed altogether...if this is true, it's typical of the mentality of upper management - cost over safety???

*Edit - HD just beat me to the explanation
