eastern,
not sure how 'Remote Tower' operations reduce CO2? I can certainly see it putting ATCOs out of work though................Which is not nice
Surely the best thing to do now, going forward*, is to re-locate the approach functions from both units to Ayrshire........Bolt them on to the Antrim/Rathlin consoles, (sorry, desks). It makes sense. In fact, get a Scottish TC up and running, ASAP, before 'PD, 'PF, and EGPH, (especially the last one), decide to go it alone.
* Oops, sorry folks......'Management-speak'.
