Thats what the long term goal of reducing Europes 47 ANSP's down to 6 is all about.
Slightly misleading and disingenous statement BDiONU. Reducing the number of ANSPs will not reduce the requirement for bums on seats, which is what we are talking about.

Just because we may reduce the number of ANSPs, it does not mean that individual ATCOs will then become current on lots of different sectors.

NATS area ATCOs currently work as many different sectors as is feasible wrt keeping current on them in order to maintain a safe operation. Just because someone might buy out NATS or amalgamate service providers, it doesn't mean that the tasks will go away
