Touche, Radar!
At the risk of repeating myself, I can't get my head around why the RVSM element is the only thing that concerns the UAE authorities (authority?).
As a Muscat controller, I can tell you a few stories about some fly-by-night operators coming up from the south into UAE and Dubai airspace and we certainly don't possess a plan, yet UAE happily lets them in. How can that be safer than allowing reputable carriers through the airspace when positive confirmation has been received that they are RVSM approved?
It's this discrepancy that confounds me the most and it is a safety issue for the surrounding ATCO's and affected pilots because it diverts your attention from what you should be doing, all for the sake of punishment. It's not working.
