No. Virtualisation is a technology. It's already in use in other industries and NATS now wants to use it in ATC.
This is way off topic. I apologise. |
Is this why EGKK are going for the DFS option then?
Phew !...Nicely back on track. |
Don't apologise, tell us more, I am intrigued!!!
|
Virtualisation By now everyone who works for NATS should have had a briefing on this new golden dawn. It's the next big thing. |
Don't say anything to Nimmer....he's using his fishing rod again:}
|
I am so glad that I am retired.
|
I am not fishing, I have put my rod away for December!!!

A possible consolation prize for NATS, I hear that the Aberporth & Ranges contract is to be renewed by QinetiQ. Hard luck Safeskys, coming back for more in seven years time? Enjoy Llanbedr!
|
And meanwhile, Qinetiq are looking to make more use of Llanbedr under Safeskys after closing it several years ago when it was SERCO.

My post #9 on the Llanbedr Airfield thread indicates how successful QQ have been to date with that current pie (unmanned of course) in the sky. At least NATS have kept the Ranges contract, with West Wales Airport Watchkeeper UAVs apparently providing most of their current and foreseeable future business. |
Sorry don't speak old Cornwellian, could you translate?.

I think that the writer was passing you a greeting, no need for the sarcasm. |
Thought this thread was about NATS losing the Gatwick contract... Haven't had any proper debate or update on the actual topic at hand for a while Things are going to get very interesting over the next year or so. |
NATS Lose Gatwick Contract (Split thread)
It will be very interesting indeed. Although, I believe the cost reductions will be mostly coming from support services rather than the operational side of things. All part of the contract price though.
|
The bit of the email that surprised me was the mentioning of new T&Cs.
New T&Cs never easy to get through but NATS management must be encouraged by the lack of fight shown by the staff when they rushed through the last pension scheme changes. |

But the pension scheme change were on a 'you keep yours, we're asking you to shaft the new guy'
Might be a bit different if people are asked to change their T&Cs. Since recruitment is all but frozen I can't see much point in changing T&Cs just for new starters. |

Hangten,
That's the answer given to me by the union after the email was sent out |
But the pension scheme change were on a 'you keep yours, we're asking you to shaft the new guy' |
