I had the CAGRO,Unicom whatever its called at Ballina try to assure me that the traffic I was trying to contact was in the training area to the north and "that there would be no conflict", for my departure. So you have some ex-ATC now trying to "assure separation" based on Flight Radar 24! On behalf of my 185 passengers and crew I thanked him and contacted Centre to ask where the traffic was on their radar. The CAGRO/Unicom whatever bloke seemed quite miffed and had just clagged up the CTAF frequency with superfluous radio chatter.
