I couldnt agree more, been trying to "educate" some Mil controllers re FIS for years, we just make hard work for ourselves and confuse some pilots by this tendancy to be "over helpful" to FIS traffic. This increased workload resulting from applying a "super FIS" then reduces the capacity to provide RIS & so FIS gets imposed instead quoting controller workload.... Pilots are then often unable to avail themselves of a RIS in areas where it would be very helpful .... as in the Oxford AIAA! Talk about the tail wagging the dog!
