Dick to sue Airservices?

Dick,

Thanks for the offer of taking on Airservices over the closure of Flightwatch, but it's not really needed. Most of us small plane fliers have been doing without it for some time, and can easily do without it for a long time to come as well.

Firstly, we could rarely raise Flightwatch when we needed them; secondly, most of the important information we need for the safety of the flight can be obtained from AERIS and AWIS sites. The non-weather things we can get from Centre, which they have always been more than happy to give.

My point is that getting Flightwatch back in the same form it left us is a waste of time. It either needs to be upgraded to be of value or closed completely.

Thanks again,

Walrus
