JackoSchitt, I thought I was pushing for a roll back at least temporarily until a proper safety study (looking at both the costs and the benefits) was performed.
As you may know, Airservices management has claimed that they cant possibly roll it back to what it was because they have removed a large percentage of the staff. Whether this is true or not, it is a fact of life that the Airservices management controls this particular issue at the present time.
As I have said before, I have confidence that the external review will uncover the truth and we will be able to get a standalone VHF Flightwatch going again either the same as before, or possibly even better.
