I refer you to the answers given on this thread in posts #18, 19, 20 and 21.

IFPUV supplies exactly what you refer to.

Incidentally, I am told that the NOP is now accessible from an i-Pad so you should be able to do all of that from the flight deck if you so desire.

Don't know where you got the "data quality control" answer. We have a dedicated section in the ops room (ADS) who are there for exactly that purpose, to maintain the database of airspace and to keep on top of the interminable changes to airspace, airways and other routes including real time opening and closing of same.

As for salaries and jobs I can only repeat that staff numbers have been drastically reduced, but not in ops. The overall cost of Eurocontrol has been reduced in line with the budgetary demands enforced by our stakeholders who will, I would imagine, continue to apply downward pressure.

The salary was a factor in my shifting my wife and kids 1200kms to a new life. Had the salary been lower I would not have come here. We all make choices....
