Thanks for the comment. Im a fan of the forum, just lurking most of the time.

As I said, I have no issues with the change in our designation. I just don't agree with the idea that soon, an aerodrome controller's decision is more the same as a flight information services' advice.

With our current set-up, I don't need to research (when it comes to job description), that a ground controller is the same as an enroute controller as they are both ATCOs manning different sectors. It's pretty much self-explanatory. With the new proposal, a terminal radar controller is the same as a flight following officer as they are both ATMOs manning different sectors. I, and my fellow ATCs don't get it.
