“frequency change approved.”
The penny drops. What Dick wants is back to NAS 2b; remove area frequencies. Get the VFRs off "ATC frequencies"; because they cause us nothing but trouble; this facilitates the removal of DTI as 90+% of the time it's VMC so what's the point in alerted see and avoid, when all said and done simple 'see and avoid' is all that is needed. Lets all ROFL at the project savings in ATCs, again.

So as a VFR call for flight following, and you'll get it, as long as you call the right frequency, how would you know what that was, no area frequencies anymore. Providing of course the controller has spare 'capacity', of course we do because we aren't controlling anywhere near the volumes of traffic as they do around long island. here we go again, everyone happy yet. Just Dick unhappy, well we might be doing somehting positive afterall.

Why Dick, is it you concerned for the wellfare of ATCs and their legal obligations, yet Civil Air, that leftist anti-industry body that it is has no concerns whatsoever? Maybe this is about creating jobs for the boys, maybe Civil Air is pushing this give VFRs a free service message? What's that leftist fundamentalist agenda again?

Why drive a 2005 Holden Monaro (Australian inovation with technology from American and Japan); when you could get behind the wheel of a 1946 Buick 56S, Man it's a classic, with all American technology.
