Since the TC1 project is planning to move LTC onto the new workstations, with electronic data, supposedly in 2014, I'm failing to see how there would be time to develop a new electronic system (never mind test and train it) given that EFD took 4 years and iFACTS took 13! But perhaps I'm just missing the whole 'Performance through Innovation' thing for 'NATS Airspace'. Smacks suspiciously to me like 'work smarter not harder'
