C&B,
You have consistently managed to avoid any of the simple questions which would allow any of the ATCOs in this forum to effectively answer your questions or fully understand the scenario. In your latest post you seem intent on re-writing the book in order satisfy your perception that separation standards should be based on pilot qualification and IQ rather than the flight rules and type of airspace they operate in.
I and I suspect most of my colleagues remain more than happy to try and explain any genuine scenario you are prepared to fully describe or even enter into constructive debate as to how 'the book' could be changed to better serve the service provider and our customers. IMHO, on the basis of your postings to this thread, you are not prepared to listen but are simply intent on 'bulldozing' your opinion as to what you think happened in the in original scenario.
I would be happy to be convinced otherwise.
