I can understand one of the reasons why overflying traffic should be monitoring the CTAF frequency, and that is the departure of a RPT jet
?? How so?

If overflying traffic (A050 and above?) are on the area freq and the departing jet makes an "all stations" call on the area freq when taxying (as they now do to get traffic etc) - then surely the overflying traffic and the jet can have a little chat to ensure separation.

Or have I missed something here?
