Good rant. But surely it sounds like you agree with my point - that you should contact the MTAZ controller for traffic information. At no time have I ever tried to say others should not enter MATZs, just that airmanship should dictate a call.
"Waffle" about QFE. Mil ac operate on QFE, I for one agree with this policy, but its discussion is a separate issue. Fot you to be deconflicted with mil ac during your MATZ transit, it makes things a hell of a lot easier if everyone's on the same pressure setting. I really don't think it's too much to ask for you to go the massive effort of changing your altimeter datum. If you're transiting a MATZ VFR then terrain separation really shouldn't be an issue!

As Dimwit correctly stated, I was indeed referring to the specifics of my situation, about which I'd originally complained. Don't actually think my original post about that was too confusing, sorry if it was.
Dimwit:
Thanks. You still bored? Found anything yet to entertain you besides the inevitable self-abuse?
