Dick, as I said previously, there is a huge amount of change happening in our airspace - just because it is not the change you want does not mean change is not happening.
Not even mentioning the innumerable software tweaks that happen every month, since NAS we have embarked (rightly or wrongly) down the SDE model of airspace management, introduced ALOFT, FLEX tracks (a psuedo UPR but only at night for international flights), started utilising CPDLC, ADS-C, RVSM, seen reductions of procedural standards in Oceanic airspace, and last november we halved the procedural tolerances for NAV/GPSRNAV equipped aircraft. ADS-B separation standards are in the pipeline, work is continuing on the FPCF tool which has the potential to really change the way we look after airspace, - the change is CONSTANT. We ATC are not resistant to it. It offends me that you keep asserting such in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
