No to both. There are still ATSAs because EFD only eliminates the donkey work of physically putting paper strips in holders and carrying them to the ATCO, all of the other ATSA tasks still exist and need doing.
It was a specific request of the ATCO EFD improvements working group that EFD include forward coordination and it won't eliminate Planners but it does reduce phone calls.
