411A, I agree entirely with your last post
Your post previous to that, though, appeared to give no credit to the operational staff (and
some ) managers who
can organise a p1ss-up in a brewery. A lot of problems have been caused by decisions made years ago, whilst privatisation may prove to be a knock-out blow to an organisation already stunned.
Your comment about shutting the NATS shop and extending the French/Netherlands FIR was, with respect, not thought out, and implies that at least part of the problem is with the operational staff, not the decisions made by higher up.
