Coupled with the fact that many NSL contracts are currently LOSING money (not least Manchester) then why would NSL suddenly become so attractive to outsiders with a 'Yes' vote?
NSL contracts are losing money because of the way NATS has run them.
NATS has historically chased some of these contracts and put in bids in an effort to win the contract, not necessarily make money.
On the flip side of your argument, why in the future would NATS want to continue to provide a service on these loss making contracts? Does that make any sense?? Of course not.
What would make sense is if NATS were to walk away from the contract once it is up for renewal.
