My recollection was that there was very minimal consultation to start with, in fact it seemed a case of "We'll do it our way" from Airways. However there has certainly been a lot of discussion since then, some very robust and productive. Perhaps my memory is flawed and since you are closer to the action I'll take your word on the consultation.
How exactly do you propose that we train controllers without using live traffic at some point??
I think the point being made is this "Is HN the best place for this to take place for new controllers?"
I'll look forward to hearing the frequency status on the ATIS.
