This is turning into a bit of a slanging match better suited to Jet Blast than Rumours and News. There is plenty of scope for healthy and informative debate so why don't we stick to that before the mods are forced to close the thread down.
Bokkenrijder: Swiss airspace has traditionally been what we refer to as vertically sectorised. i.e. instead of the sectors being divided like fields on a map they are divided like strata that you see in a cliff face. This is out of necessity due to the very high amount of overflying traffic. Maastricht have a similar system. It means less frequency changes and co-ordination for the overflights but, sadly for you, more frequency changes when climbing or descending into/out of swiss aerodromes.
The new sectors are split at 355, 325, 285 and 245. So not quite every 2000'. Perhaps you will have to do less twiddling with your knobs in future
