As a professional airline pilot, former GA chief pilot, CFI and ATO, ... ...ooohh my hero! a jet doing 250 kts .. ..not rocket science, maybe it is to you...the fact that over ten thousand bizjets blast around the US daily, most without TCAS, without hitting anything.. 404, easy but not very helpful to make irrelevant comparisons. Kinda like big noting Australia's airplane and submarine manufacturing capabilities (Nomad and Collins ) with that of say, Haiti..
As a controller for some 13 years i have always prided myself on trying to give every pilot what they require as soon as possible and as far as the rules allow.
capitan, we appreciate your attitude, but the problem is in the overall relative meanings of...trying...require...soon.... Go visit the ATC centers in the US and all will be revealed.
