Definately a couple of years old, had all the old radar maps and didn't mention all the new airspace changes from Mar this year. There's been a couple of threads about the civvies routing through the VoY on the ATC issues thread recently. I wouldn't go and look at the one at the mo. 4 pages of 'but surely we should have datalinks and remove the human element blah.' Yes that's a wonderful idea. How do we integrate mil and civil traffic like we do now then? Oh we don't!
Anyway, us blue-suited ATCOs have been questioning the presence of the civvies in the VoY rather than using their bright shiny airway; however, apparently as stated it's all about cost. The extra 33 nms to route GAT all the way is apparently too expensive and as the programme stated, Newcastle would lost their regular run to Amsterdam.
