The NOC is not a National Operations Centre, it's at best a airline liaison unit that runs a bit of software called harmony. The name is all wrong however Greg Russell probably intended it to have much bigger role "where are all the radios that can be used when the controllers are on strike" is one quote attributed to him. The role it does have, however, can easily be cut back and the work passed back to ATC, who used to do all the liaison before the NOC was established. Now there's the rub with the cut backs, either the work that the people were doing does not get done; or someone who is left has to do it.
