Since I've been part of NPAS I've had quite a few jobs where we have requested another aircraft whilst airborne. This provides a seamless handover with ground units and control rooms and means no loss of service due to fuel. It's also very easy to do as we are all on the same radio channels.
That didn't happen before NPAS.
Did it quite a few times with the GMP and Lancs aircraft before NPAS. Perhaps we got on with our neighbours better.
