Exactly! You've got to question why the government are hiding behind NATS, or indeed why NATS talking heads are willing to front for the government? Is this going to be a good thing for NATS or a bad thing in the eyes of public perception? One would hope it's a good thing, NATS standing up for safety but who knows!
Anyone hear Mrs Harriett Harman, member of the UK COBRA committee, announce that NATS is the regulator for aviation safety in the UK and that we must all wait upon their advice?
