The problem ATC have is that we don't know if you are ultra proffessional or a numpty when you call,
And vice versa, likewise.
But how DOES it prevent an iincursion
ShyTorque, Having read many of your posts, I am confused as I credited you with more knowledge/understanding than the above comment and the Airline pilot ref would imply. Firstly, the 'professional' slight. Yes, we are not all the same standard but we are regulated and tested on a regular basis (quarterly) to confirm standards do not fall below what is acceptable, are you? (I am referring to PPLs) By telling a/c to remain OCAS, you are more likely to prevent incursion than if you don't. Finally, how many airline pilots call from outside CAS to join? In my experience, any pilots OCAS are under a RAS and are handed over by the previous unit.
