Yes - a good observation. I is indeed like the early days of PCI when a
proper ATC system existed. I guess the scrapping of this and the loss of
venerable staff like Steve Tape and Tony was the start of the collapse of a
decent ATC system.
We do reasonably well in PCI but with no structure and no laid down
procedures it stops any embryonic controllers from learning even the basics.
With IVAO's current lack of solid UK coverage it's probably the best time to
jump in. I'm sure it will regenerate quickly.

I'm becoming quite impressed by IVAO, it can be all things to all men, etc.
I did a flight this afternoon, where there were no UK controllers butup
to eight pilots flying in the UK airspace. So it was possible to fly in
an area wehere there were other flyers, or where there were none. The
Unicom text window was reasonably busy.
If I'd needed a controled environment then I could have flown cross
channel, or to Ireland. Rather like the old PCI but with more users.
