off watch - I take the points you make and cannot argue. I would however suggest that not all delays to GA are because of traffic densities. There are of course occasions when atc staffing means GA does not get the service it should or is denied access because of controller workload etc etc. Now in those and many other circumstances GA "suffers" through no fault of its own making and the CAT has nothing to worry about and no cost implication. Now perhaps one might look at the possibility of a minimum service to be provided by those who want control the airspace and further more pay a "rent" on the volume of that airspace. Do you think that might result in s different level of service and a reduction in volume? You see by and large I really do believe that GA and ATC (in my experience) have an outstanding relationship and try so hard to accomodate each others needs, it is just such a pity that a very few from each side need a bit of "education"
