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.

How about ''Hadrian Control''.Right on the border.:)

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 ? :=

:D

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......!!!

oh yeah, they're busting a gut to keep MACC morale sky high

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 :E

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.
:D

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.:(

Or how about MANchester and scotTISH combining to make MANTISH control?

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