Sorry, what you think is happening is not always the case!
I've operated in and out of hams for about a decade and was witness to the intro of the two freqs. Now I have alot of time for the controllers in hams but this 2 freq thing is an accident waiting to happen. IFR flights don't always change to just the single freq when inbound and infact only a few weeks ago we got 122.9 then at 5nm changed to 125.9 (not ideal)
A simple system like putting which freq is in use on the ATIS would be nice and save some confusion and also give the pilots of inbound/outbound flights a heads up to what is going on.
Lets not get started on trainees (they are exactly that and need to learn) However it would be nice if airways once again insisted on some flight training for these newbees. Alot just don't have a clue about what aircraft can and can't do or traffic priority.
