I appreciate all of the points that you make and sympathise with your predicament. I don't mean to sound off-hand nor insensitive to real personal and professional crisis.
Surely NATS is for sale then? Was there not a tender by the IAA to actually buy or least run NATS that would NOT have resulted in the mess that has accompanied the current state and major UK airline sanctioned plan?
Why was the IAA route not an option at the time? Is it the Liberia thing again? Is it anti-competitive?
Why not liquidate it and start again with essential cover in the interim? We may then see a more efficient and unindebted outfit?
Why is it not up for tender from an EU perspective?
