No Dick, oneSKY/CMATS is an ATC system not an airspace model - you could use whatever airspace model you want in it. The system is unaware of airspace classifications.
What I'm saying is TAAATS needs replacing sooner rather than later so from a safety perspective that must be the main organisational imperative and as such that's where all the resources will be concentrated. TAAATS starting to fall apart due to age related hardware failure has far bigger safety implications than not providing the service you're wanting.
Seriously, we're going to struggle with staffing just to get the new system in as it is without adding further complications. We don't have the staff or consoles in the current system so nothing is going to happen in TAAATS. I have no idea what the intention is post TAAATS.
Many of us are 50+ so retirement will be an option in the not too distant future (if it already isn't) and we'll need replacing too. That's a lot of new controllers to train just to keep position. For better or worse ATC requires a skill set that is far from common so that will be a struggle.

Reason: system is *un*aware
