Dick, I don't think thats the whole story. Maybe your onto something, I dunno
I have seen the video of the maroochy-
vb close encounter, have you? should find it some how, then you might understand why atc's didn't like the procedures. Our friends/family/mail/cat/dogs/etc etc fly on planes, just remember that. We aren't a pack of idiots
We don't really care what the procedures are, we don't care if you change them, as long as they are safe, as long as we don't have to watch two planes come too close, and as long as you give us the training and resources to do it.
The problem is this; ASA is for profit.
