Before the new government online GAR, we emailed our GAR to the NCU (national coordination unit). This was just one person sitting at a PC whose task was to forward all GAR’s to the respective /applicable border force / police force offices. However this “person” frequently missed emails and hence the receiving units never received them. In my case, the Farnborough Border Force office told me of these problems and asked me to copy everything I sent to NCU, directly to them - which I have done for the last 10 years or more. All without problem - except on the rare occasion that I forgot to copy in Farnborough.
I have seen nothing to suggest that that semi manual process has changed with the intro tion of the new BF OnlineGAR portal, so I suspect that this is still the root of the problems.
If I were at all Machiavellian, i might ask whether all these “problems” being blamed on SkyDemon, Rocket Route, Autorouter or a n other third party, might be part of a plot to persuade / coerce users to use their expensive, yet totally crappy new system. It all seems just a bit suspicious?
But on balance, I think the are just incompetent.
