Excuse me if I am being stupuid, but can't LACC (doesn't seem right!) controllers provide a RAS outside CAS down to FL70? Therefore, if the traffic situation allows, this could be provided and area controllers can work outside CAS. ScOATCC cannot provide a RAS outside CAS, of course, thanks to management instructions.
Pardon me while I now duck as I am informed by much better informed people than myself that they can't provide this service. Anyway they're much too busy and if the ac is informed of the danger areas and still flies towards them then they are stupuid and the other controller is even more stupuid.
