Keep at man - NAS is a fraud. It is simply about VFR being able to fly "free". In Aus we don't have the Federal funds to make this so - somebody has to pay, it should be the users (all of them)
The heavy metal operators would sure be hurt in any subsequent litigation by a litigant who wanted to pursue their silence and acquiescence during this period should the NAS ever get up. The lawyers will go after the money!
People who buy tickets on airliners are entitled to the respect and safety that a proper en-route and terminal airspace system that captures all traffic to the system will deliver.
