at least we've provoked debate....
just one point about "andrew" -- throughout all of my dealings with him, he has been very quick to praise the skill, professionalism and dedication of his former colleagues.
He doesn't blame individuals for the incidents he wrote up in that 33page report - rather it's the system he thinks has become errant.
in a nutshell, he thinks that expecting atcos to be working to their best possible performance level, at every moment of every shift, is unrealistic and unfair.
One point he mentioned on 5 Live Drive (
www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive) about 1705 is the fact that NATS own figures suggest 20% or more of WV pairings are underspaced. that's surely worthy of debate?
