I love this expression "ring fenced". It keeps cropping up in management-speak bull**** propaganda , but I haven't a clue what it means (along with most other people I suspect) - if indeed it means anything at all. How, or indeed why, would/could anyone put a fence around a slot? Wouldn't a fence obstruct the runway/apron, or whatever other part of the airfield that a slot inhabits?

Anyone in the know care to elaborate (preferably in recognisable English, not management-speak...)

And as for asset striping - sounds very decorative! Laying them out in rows perhaps?
