Now this newly proposed Air Traffic Control System...

... looks all well and good, but you simply know that THE primary reason is the reduction in costs. Equally this system will DEFINITELY end up being sent off-shore or/and being completely roboticised at some point in the future. The latter would clearly be preferable to the former given past (and current) experiences people have with off-shored companies... the question being, who would be responsible for any accident/s?

Another rather disturbing aspect is the ability of one person to monitor multiple airports... "relieving some of the stress from what ...... is a notorious high intensity job". This aspect alone is extremely disturbing without even thinking about someone nipping out for a toilet or smoke break!
