I think that any notion that our Irish colleagues will not be re routing aircraft is cloud cuckoo land. I'm sure that their management will see the gains in revenue that could be made by routeing eastbounds via strumble from 15w avoiding SCACC. This is done already for some eastbounds which we have no control over, but have our management considered the loss in revenue that will occur if the same is done westbound?
I would have thought that southwest despite being intense at times is also a high revenue earner for the company and that by giving away associated airspace it will affect revenues at a time when we can least afford to.
Just a thought but as shareholders what do other NATS employees think of our management agreeing to "give" airspace and revenue to one of our direct competitors?
