No thanks, turn back and let the airlines and airservices squabble over it.
Then again, Im not inclined to go the extra mile at the best of times.
Sure is.
I'm one of them. Don't particularly have an issue with it. Not too different from operating in Class G that most of us have operated in at some point in time. "all stations... I am coming through!".
Of course it means having faith in the other users of the airspace doing the right thing. But to be fair, there is not many others hacking around the sky at the times I fly, so my risk is certainly much less.
