point merge
Sounds like another scheme emanating from non-ATCOS, or incompetent (non-operational) ATCOs, or other bodies who know little or nothing about ATC, to take what's left of the fun out of the job & impose another new solution to "problems" which are NOT problems.; or which will not be solved by procedures & systems which cause more problems & delays than the systems they replace.
Echoes of "Tunnels in The Sky".
I'm glad I was in ATC when I was & not in today's technocratic age!
