I did this so I did not become one of the infringers and to ensure that my flying and RT were first class 100% of the time. I get refused very few transits.....
So far I have amassed a few hours without a single infingement (even my one skirmish with your own controller that turned out to be controller error as you recall). Would you really take that effort away from me?
The trouble with being perfect is that lots of other people spend an inordinate amount of time either trying to prove you are not perfect or simply relishing the day when the inevitable 'fall from grace' exposes one's fallibilities. Fortunately, I am incapable of sitting myself on quite such a high pedestal and find some solace in that my regularly exposed failings are generally tolerated by friends, colleagues and casual observers because I am prepared to listen and learn from others.
