At least 'management' can take comfort in the fact that both next summer and the one after, delays due to Swanwick will be down by 60%, (% plucked from the ether). This will all be down to them and their skillfull handling of a difficult situation and proof, no doubt, that PPP works.
They will undoubtedly forget to mention the fact that large chunks of the North and Irish sea sectors will by then be controlled from elsewhere, without the requirement to close sectors/introduce flow due to rostering and staffing problems.
It appears that the only way to get our shiny new centre working is for it to handle fewer aircraft and cover less airspace.
Round of applause required I feel!!!
