CIPWM,

I think you'll find that there are four NATS area centres.

Terminal Control (London) at West Drayton is the missing one, and provides area services as well as approach.

Any truth in the rumour that Maastricht ACC is being privatised and that NATS and DFS are interested?

Minesapint DFS is definitely interested, NATS might be interested, but would probably have staff problems

Lon More - Just something I overheard the other day from a colleague that works there......

Why would NATS have staff problems?

Minesapint Reading some other threads, I think staff at Maastricht are more militant than in the UK. Would NATS management be able to cope?

Not militant - just more expressive..

Lon you'd have to come back and help us train all the NATS staff to do ATC, reckon it might be a long contract too!

Lon More - point taken. Especially difficult ones like 'Traffic Traffic' but he is way beyond the help of management! Or anyone else for that matter........

Can current Maastricht management contain the more militant element?
