It's all about politics and perception, most people south of the boarder regard the Scotish independence vote as a regrettable platform and career enhancer of the SNP leader and would rather see Scotland as part of the union.
However if the decision of the Scotish people is to go their own way, so be it, but don't expect govenment money from down south to prop up the Scotish economy, there are plenty of flying schools in south of the boarder who would like to get their hands on this contract and I don't see it being renewed to support a foreign economy.
Remember independence means just that, the scots are going to be independent of the whole of the system south of the boarder............ They can't cherry pick the bits of independence that they want.
