Whilst the thread starter needs a lot of work of his presentational skills he does have a point. At the end of the day CAS is what it is and you don't just fly into it willy nilly. Mistakes are made however and people should 'fess up, apologise and have a firm understanding up what their actions/mistakes could ultimately lead to.

Talk of defending the nation, hordes of filthy russians pouring over the border or how terrible it all is on det are of little or no relevance here. It is not beyond the wit of man to know the rules of the airspace and abide them. Sure, Fred Bloggs pings CAS every day in his puddle jumper but he's not claiming to be the professional aviator that we, rightly, consider ourselves to be.

The evidence in this case is pretty incontrovertible really - how about some constructive discussion (sarcastic ATCOs not withstanding) rather than some of the peurile and witless comments seen above?
