737 pilot followed the correct procedures for a traffic advisory
And what exactly are the correct 'procedures' for a traffic advisory? It might be 'common sence' in the cold light of day; but in a high workload environment; complying with STARs, etc. perhaps the system isn't delivering the outcomes we all expect.
As for the mjbow2 waffle about how it could have played out, it didn't. A more efficient system which requires 11 transmissions instead of 4 (at worst) is a classic example of why E will take more resources than C.
And the VFR cost of getting a clearance and traversing Class C pre 27 November would have been the same as using the class E post 27 November; nudda.
Dick, you got it wrong.
