Or maybe why don't they finally rip up the old charts and airspace and start again.

Give all of these so called "commercial airports" who operate with uncontrolled airspace around them a class D entry/exit corridor and proper sids and stars to facilitate the big boys through them. Then give each and every airport a VFR transit corridor right over the top. You could use a common frequency to announce your intentions and to make it even simpler lets say for arguments sake that you cross it using the semi circular or quadrantal rule not below 3,000ft and not above I dunno say 5,000. By law you would have to be tuned into the frequency when you transit but not necessarily get clearance from a controller BUT if the brown stuff hit the fan then the controller could get on frequency and be able to contact you. If the weather is naff then you could always try and negotiate a non standard transit at a lower level.
