Agree totally - management are far to quick to interfere nowadays. We even had one manager claim AMAN was a success for airlines at a meeting the other day (was using it as an example of what 'projects' could do for us).
NATS management is very quick to try to impose things on us - the latest is the minumum hold level of FL90... being trialled in the depths of winter in the depths of recession - of course it won't have much effect on operations... come the time when traffic levels rise again though...
NATS CO2 figures are very misleading - they are calculated by assuming aircraft are left on the SID at low level, when in fact climbs to more efficient levels are given as often as possible - to the majority of departures.
All these information posters and operational constraints are designed by management who want to be seen to be doing something by their superiors.
