I do, however, think the money would have been better spent in providing seminars to local flying clubs and a booklet recapping on the current system, as changes of terminology seem slightly pointless and likely to cause more confusion.
And I think you'll find the majority of ATCOs (who will have to provide the new services) would agree wholeheartedly.
However ... the ones behind desks justifying their highly paid pontifications and writing the rules don't actually give a to$$ about the realities, practicalities and difficulties experienced by those with licences. Ho hum.
