IO - you are completely missing the points I am trying to make here.
Anybody who wants to continue to file using NATS' current fax/phone system will not get a choice in the matter - its going to be AFPEx or nothing. Also, I know that the system works - there are areas within AFPEx where I remain to be convinced, especially when it comes to areas of responsibility. The 'experienced human element' available from the FBUs will also be removed. Having both systems available is preferable.
Heathrow Trade Union chap?
Sorry to disappoint. (I could probably afford my own plane if I was!)
