I guess we’ll get to see if you’re correct. I suspect the current owners will make a better job than many of their predecessors.

Flt Lt Eddie Craig

Im a flyer not a controller. However, if I was to compare the two I would probably simplify controlling in the same way you simplified flying. Which means we’d probably both be wrong.

Why would he wish to give out such information? Seems a few on here have an agenda where ANS is concerned. Personally, I think they’re a breath of fresh air in a market that really needed it.
