I didn't say anything about cloud.
Thanks A Squared. Similar to what happens here, but we do that ourselves, all on the same freq so we don't have two masters. Not hard. We could have ATC involved (Class E), but because Dick has never done a cost-benefit analysis, you know, for another few/many TAAATS sectors, ATC approach training, VHF comms to the ground, nobody knows how much it would cost. Oh and I forgot the mandated transponders for all the VFR players in E.
C'mon Dick. How about it? You're the famous business man, surely you've costed this whole thing out?
