CM, we both obviously sip from the same glass. Some very interesting points.
Combined Approach Centres - Canada? Nice plan and if it works it will set the standard for the rest of the world.
Redesign the airspace. SES (Single European Skies) is going along this route. FL195+ will be Class C. In the longer term. A-G will go and we will end up with 2/3 classifications of airspace. Ditch RAS/RIS/FIS and bring something in more aligned to flight rules/conditions and Bob will be your uncle.
Finally, put some in smart technology (Dynamic Air Traffic Management, Mode S(!) etc) and everyone may be happy.
The bottom line is that, instead of tinkering with the current structure, we should get out a brand spanking new piece of paper and start a fresh.
