Although I back you Dick ... (as I support the principle that Controllers are there to keep tin apart... and FSOs/FISOs/Briefers, or whatever you want to call them, are there to provide information for pilots to base decisions on) .. the chooks have flown the coop. The majority of those who were providing Flightwatch have been shown the golden door.
There ain't nobody left to provide the service ... except Controllers.... and there's bugger all of those left too.
