What do you think of the use of email and text messages to replace verbal communication in ATC? For instance, the weather report for the Air Asia flight was sent by email, and not picked up in person. Some of the routine ATC comms are starting to be sent by text. It's more efficient, but personally I think there is a human element missing. Do you think this makes a difference?
