Interesting that there appears to be only one pilot posting and about 900 viewings.
During the run up to privatisation pilots were asked to voice some opinion but apart form a nice Mr Darke you did little to influence the politicians or airline owners.
The forecasts for this type of disruption appear to be that NATS is losing staff and this will happen more often in the next few years.
As the airlines own NATS I find it curious that they do nothing.
The tone of the thread ? I've done this job for a long time and never until recently been embarrased to say I work in UK ATC.
