Talla,
Very hazardous.
From what I know of listening to Manchester during the "quiet hours", it would be very doubtful if any more airspace could be fused together safely.

Cool Hadrian Control

Wouldn't that mean that all ginger-haired, beardy, skirt wearing pilots would be held indefinitely North of Berwick-on-Tweed!!!

Why? Because Manchester Sectors and Scottish Sectors will bandbox together, once controllers start cross validating, so we must have a common callsign.
What make you think Scottish ACC will have full control over the Manchester area ?

ScACC is not 'taking over' MACC. Prestwick Centre will combine ScACC and MACC sectors into a single centre.

Seems more like MACC are taking over SCACC as NATS see to be falling over backwards to accomadate all of MACC's wants......!!!

I thought all the Manch guys were going to places like Saudi ATC and Afghanistan ATC to avoid the humungous journey North into the Rangers loving banjo playing Ayrshire community that behaved so well in the UEFA CUP

Best way out of all this is to give control of our skies to europe. Close all uk centres and run the lot from overseas.


Merry xmas to all who are working.

It would make perfect sense to have a common callsign for the whole centre. SCOTtish and ManCH working in unison. Perhaps a compromise is in order ?
May I suggest "SCOTCH Control".

Just a thought.

Whatever you guys n girls call yourselves, unite with your Southern colleagues to fight for a decent pay rise in 2009!
