I worked at ScOACC from 1992-1998, albeit as a Mil ATCO. You're pushing against an open door trying to persuade me of your difficulties with the fudge that DAP put in place. The point I was making earlier was that for the vast majority of GAT flights and civil ATSPs DFL195 is of little impact.
One thing to remember is that GAT is not the only user of airspace outside of Controlled Airspace and DAP has to try and satisfy everyone's 'need'.
