It would be good to hear from any Manc APC controllers. Alledgedly due to the newly signed loss making crappy contract that they work under, procedural control on nights with reduced manning has been mooted to help reduce the deficit.
Again alledgedly the feeling at other airfields is that senior management non-air traffic experts/professionals are trying this on at their airfields as well.
Nats, the leading company in Air Traffic, what a joke!
