NATS, a customer and environmentally friendly company - NOT.

Let's have all our customers flying extra miles at non-optimum levels in procedural airspace just so we can save a couple of ATCO salaries.

Or maybe not, as when we go into PC we are likely to need just as many on nights, if not more, as the band-boxing options are going to complicate things.

I have just spent a few hours with my colleagues sending aircraft from one end of Scottish airspace to the other at the level THEY want.

Come on all you bright sparks in management, let's find a way to do that ALL the time.
