Snoop Dick Shifty, Class E Airspace & TCAS

Having not aviated around the Big Isle down south for sometime I have with interest been following the to and fro of your new airspace arrangements and how as usual good old Oz is dragged kicking and screaming where aviation is concerned into the 20th Century whilst the rest of us are now in the 21st Century.

Can I play Devils Advocate here and or someone enlighten me as to what the big deal is about getting a TA

I work in and environment where getting a TA is a daily occurence (SE Asia) and a TCAS with a minimum of 6 - 10 targets on it at any one time - even at cruise level!

When TA's occur, usually but not in everycase the Controllers will advise you of the potential conflict.

An RA is serious sh@#t and are few and far between.

As far as TA's go the rest of the world lives with this on a daily basis so please enlighten me as to what is your perceived problem.
