Not Long Now
if some catastrophic event were to occur (highly unlikely I admit but it has to be planned for - it's part of the NATS businees plan/contract) then there would be a facility to provide a much pared down, limited function from the remaining centre.
Do you honestly think that we would have 2 centres if it was not needed? This fallback requirement is probably the biggest reason we have the new centre at Prestwick... otherwise the company would have (and no doubt wrt business plans and cost cutting would have preferred) a single centre strategy. Just think how much money the company could have saved it it had been a viable option.
The new centre at Prestwick has nothing to do with keeping the locals in a job.
