@standardnoise:
That is exactly why I think we will start seeing airfield closures at a regular basis if this is brought in across the board and staffing subsequently cut.
@obwan
I don't have a problem with it, but once again I think that the second we start regulating traffic or closing airfields due to staffing it's not the airfield that will get the bad publicity, it's the ATCOs! Which means we may end up having to adapt a new procedure we don't want, cut staffing even more (which we don't want), the reasoning being the reduction in service. When the service then has to eb reduced (like we said) we will still take the blame, it's no-win situation for the ATCOs if you ask me!

As far as I know it's standard radar vectoring.
