On that basis the CAT driver with his ATPL does not have a right to enter, nor does the AOC holder who is operating the aircraft as all of these are privileges that are at the mercy of regulators. Of course only acting through due legal process to remove said privileges.
The thread has also moved into a fairly negative area rather than a potentially useful exchange of views on
1 - Do some ATC units have better processes/capabilities for handling transits (and are there ideas from other parts of the world that could increase capacity, reduce work load and not materially change safety)
2 - Do some ATC management teams staff more accurately (not necessarily better or worse) to meet real demand
3 - Are there latent priority/'attitude' differences that result in individual controllers, managers, units having a different approach to 1 and 2
